2006 Benjamin Franklin Founding Father Commemorative Silver One Dollar Uncirculated Obverse
2006 Benjamin Franklin Founding Father Commemorative Silver One Dollar Uncirculated Reverse
The United States honored the tercentenary of the birth of Benjamin Franklin, one of this Nation’s original scientists, thinkers and founding fathers, with two commemorative silver dollars from the United States Mint. The Benjamin Franklin Commemorative Coin Program comprised two silver dollars – “Scientist” and “Founding Father” – which were available in both proof and uncirculated conditions. Each coin was limited to a maximum mintage of 250,000 across all product options and was issued only during the one-year period beginning January 1, 2006.
The second coin in the program, "Founding Father," reflects a more familiar image of Benjamin Franklin, capturing the great patriot and statesman in the autumn of his years. The reverse of the second coin, featuring a 1776 Continental Currency dollar, showcases the contributions made by Franklin to the spirit of early American coinage and currency design.
