The Legacy Collection of Frank Frazetta is authorized by the Frank Frazetta Museum and overseen through close collaboration with his son, Frank Frazetta Jr. More than just a name, this series highlights the true legacy of Frazetta. His art inspired countless other creative minds, including the artists behind the iconic Nintendo video game Legend of Zelda.
Frazetta’s works over the years have appeared on the covers of novels, albums, and fantasy or science-fiction writings, as well as providing inspiration for comic books and statues. The Barbarian was one of his quintessential works, representing the real-life image of the fictional Conan the Barbarian.
On the obverse of the 1 oz Frank Frazetta Legacy Collection The Barbarian Copper Round you’ll find his iconic design. The Barbarian is set against a backdrop that is rough and full of stylized shadows, and his muscular physique leans on a massive sword with a nude woman featured at his feet.
The reverse of all rounds in the series include the portrait of Frazetta himself. Included in the design on this side are engravings of his birth and death years, his name, and the seal of authenticity for Frazetta Enterprises.
Osborne Precious Metals is the production facility behind the entire Frank Frazetta Legacy Collection, which includes silver rounds in three different versions for each of the three design releases. Osborne is America’s oldest private mint, and is bested only by the United States Mint in terms of age on the American continent.
