The USS Constitution, affectionately known as “Old Ironsides,” represents one of the most enduring symbols of American naval heritage. Launched in 1797, she was one of six original frigates authorized by the Naval Act of 1794 and remains the world’s oldest commissioned warship still afloat. Her nickname was earned during the War of 1812, when British cannonballs were seen bouncing off her incredibly tough oak hull, leading sailors to declare that her sides were made of iron. Right now, 1 oz U.S.S. Constitution Ship Silver Rounds are available from JM Bullion.
Round Highlights:
Each 1 oz U.S.S. Constitution Ship Silver Round offered here comes in a protective plastic flip and celebrates America’s founding. The round not only includes language from Article 1, Section 10 of the United States Constitution, but it also honors the history of the United States Navy with its depiction of the U.S.S. Constitution. This design was used in production by both the Liberty Mint and Constitution Mint, both of which operated out of Provo, Utah, during the 1970s and 1980s.
The Constitution’s design was revolutionary for its time, featuring a unique combination of heavy armament and speed that made her particularly effective in combat. Her most famous victories came during the War of 1812, where she defeated five British warships, including HMS Guerriere and HMS Java. These victories provided a tremendous morale boost to the young American nation and established the U.S. Navy as a force to be reckoned with on the high seas.
In the obverse design of U.S.S. Constitution Ship Silver Rounds, you’ll find Old Ironsides sailing the high seas. Today, the USS Constitution serves as a museum ship in Boston Harbor, where she continues to be maintained by active-duty U.S. Navy sailors. She undergoes regular restorations to preserve her historical integrity, with the most recent major restoration completed in 2017. The ship is not merely a static display – she is still capable of sailing under her own power and occasionally does so for special events, demonstrating the extraordinary craftsmanship and engineering that went into her construction over 200 years ago.
For the reverse side of 1 oz Constitution Ship Silver Rounds, you’ll find text from Article 1, Section 10 of the Constitution. This text reads NO STATE SHALL…MAKE ANYTHING BUT GOLD AND SILVER COIN A TENDER IN PAYMENT OF DEBT. The identifying hallmarks also feature on this side.
