The New Orleans Pelicans were originally founded as the Charlotte Hornets in 1988, relocated to New Orleans in 2002, and rebranded as the Pelicans in 2013 when Charlotte reclaimed the Hornets name. After Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans in 2005, the team temporarily played home games in Oklahoma City and split time between cities during the recovery period, symbolizing the city’s resilience. Right now, 1 oz NBA New Orleans Pelicans Silver Rounds are available from JM Bullion.
Round Highlights:
Each 1 oz NBA New Orleans Pelicans Silver Round comes in Brilliant Uncirculated condition and is packaged in an individual flip. This round is one of several in the NBA collection. This series features the logos of all 30 franchises in the league, with BU silver and colorized silver options available for each team.
The franchise played as the New Orleans Hornets until 2013 when owner Tom Benson changed the name to Pelicans to better represent Louisiana’s state bird and create an identity distinct from Charlotte’s history. The franchise has played at the Smoothie King Center (formerly New Orleans Arena) since arriving in Louisiana and has become an important symbol of the city’s recovery and cultural identity.
The obverse of the NBA New Orleans Pelicans Silver Round comes with a depiction of the franchise logo. The Pelicans’ logo features a pelican with spread wings in an aggressive pose and emphasizes the pelican’s fierce side, challenging the perception that the state bird is gentle or harmless, and instead presenting it as a formidable predator.
On the reverse of 1 oz New Orleans Pelicans Silver Rounds, you’ll find the NBA logo. The NBA logo’s silhouette of a basketball player in motion, captured in a rectangular frame, has become an enduring sports symbol. This sleek design has defined the league’s image for more than five decades.
