It started out as dialogue in the 2011 movie Rise of the Planet of the Apes: the revolutionary chimpanzee Caesar signaling the power of his ape brethren in numbers. Going on to become a viral Internet meme, “Apes Together Strong” acquired whole new levels of meaning in online forums: a half-ironic rallying cry for the overlooked, the underestimated, and the “little guy.” That made it a fit for the subculture of small “retail” stock traders who took to stock trading apps like Robinhood and gave rise to a “meme trading” craze that continues to make waves. This phenomenon is commemorated by the 1 oz Antique Apes Together Strong Silver Round.
Collectible Highlights:
The meme stock trading craze made its first appearance in 2021, when a group of small traders on the online forum /r/WallStreetBets seized on the cause of a struggling retailer called GameStop. Seeking to punish large firms and hedge funds who were short-selling the company’s stock, the meme traders came together in an effort to boost GameStop’s value artificially in a “short squeeze.” They eventually succeeded in boosting the stock’s value to many times its original value and created a sensation in the markets.
The phrase “Apes Together Strong” is featured along with playful artwork on the Antique Apes Together Strong Silver Round, and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. These rounds ship individually inside sealed blistercards.
The artwork features a small boy wearing sunglasses and carrying large diamonds in each hand, riding a rocket ship in the same way that the “little guy” meme traders generally hope to ride the craze to fortune. The inscription “Apes Together Strong” appears at the rim, along with the smaller inscription “/r/WallStreetBets,” and an antique finish helps accentuate the details.
