1973 British Evacuation of Philadelphia American Revolution Bicentennial Commemorative Sterling Silver Medal

Capture a remarkable piece of early American history with this beautifully struck commemorative medal. Released in 1973 by the Franklin Mint as part of the official series leading up to the nation's bicentennial, this piece vividly tells the story of June 18, 1778, when 15,000 British troops abandoned their 10-month siege of America's revolutionary capital. One side features an intricately detailed scene of British soldiers boarding ships with the inscription "BRITISH EVACUATION OF PHILADELPHIA," bordered by "AMERICAN REVOLUTION BICENTENNIAL." The opposite side presents a powerful, allegorical figure breaking free from shackles alongside the words "FREEDOM FROM TYRANNY." Struck in fine sterling silver, this premium proof medal has likely been protected in a collection for decades, retaining its original brilliant proof luster. It is a stunning visual narrative of our nation's hard-won independence and makes an exceptional addition to any historical exonumia or bullion collection.
