No Date Token TC-171061 White Metal 19mm Benjamin Franklin Memorial

Coin Details

Description

This undated white metal trade token, cataloged as TC-171061, is a 19mm piece commemorating the Benjamin Franklin Memorial. Like the bronze version (PCGS #915736), this token was produced as a souvenir of the Benjamin Franklin National Memorial at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia. The white metal composition distinguishes this from the bronze variety, creating a composition variant pair for collectors. White metal — typically a tin-based alloy — provided a bright, silvery appearance at low cost, making it suitable for inexpensive souvenir items. The Franklin Institute has produced various commemorative and souvenir items throughout its long history, and tokens like this one document the memorial's role as a Philadelphia landmark and tourist attraction honoring one of America's most versatile founding citizens.
