1976 Pennsylvania Official State Bicentennial Sterling Silver Medal Proof
Capture a definitive piece of American history with this stunning 1976 Official Pennsylvania State Bicentennial Silver Medal. Commemorating the 200th anniversary of American Independence, this deeply reflective proof-like heirloom beautifully portrays the spirit of the Revolution. The obverse displays a poignant, prize-winning design of a colonial continental soldier kneeling in prayer on a snow-dusted landscape at Valley Forge, flanked by thirteen stars and the classic number '76'. The reverse exhibits the magnificent, highly detailed official Pennsylvania State Coat of Arms supported by two majestic rearing stallions, complete with the state motto "Virtue, Liberty and Independence". Struck by the legendary Franklin Mint under the direct authority of the Bicentennial Commission of Pennsylvania, this heavy sterling silver piece perfectly combines intrinsic silver value with deep, patriotic numismatic significance.
