Fans of science-fiction and fantasy artwork, fictional tales, and movies are probably not aware just how familiar they should be with the works of Frank Frazetta.

While it is hard to characterize any one work from Frazetta as his greatest, The Barbarian design certainly stands out in the crowded field of works from the American artist. It may feature as the third design in the Frank Frazetta Legacy Collection, but to fans of the sword and sorcery genre it is perhaps the greatest piece of work he created.
The Barbarian design is representative of Conan the Barbarian, and is among a host of Frazetta’s works that have gained iconic status not just in American culture, but around the world. As part of the Frank Frazetta Legacy Collection of silver rounds, the Barbarian design features third after his massively popular Death Dealer design, the Silver Warrior, and precedes the final release of Egyptian Queen.
On the reverse of the 1 oz Proof Frank Frazetta Legacy Collection The Barbarian Silver Round you’ll find his stunning depiction of The Barbarian. It is a simplistic design, with no background markings or details, and captures the barbarian in a moment of humble silence.
The obverse of all Frank Frazetta Legacy Collection silver rounds features the same design, that of Frazetta’s portrait. His name and years of birth and death are included on this side. All silver rounds in the collection have unique edge lettering that denotes the production number of the individual round.
These 1 oz Proof Frank Frazetta Legacy Collection The Barbarian Silver Rounds ship to you inside of Air-Tite plastic capsules to protect the condition of your collectible piece for years to come. A numbered Certificate of Authenticity is included, which matches the production number engraved on the edge of the silver round.
