Product Details

Celebrating a pivotal milestone in American history, this 1996-silver commemorative piece honors the spirit and achievements of the Paralympic Games. Hailing from a year that marked significant developments for disabled sports in the United States, this coin exemplifies a tribute to courage and determination. Crafted with precision, this U.S. Mint silver dollar encapsulates both historical relevance and artistic merit, appealing to collectors and investors who value cultural milestones captured in precious metals.

  • Bears an inspiring design celebrating Paralympians.
  • Struck in fine silver, ensuring premium quality.
  • Minted in brilliant uncirculated condition.
  • Backed by the recognition of the U.S. Mint.

The obverse side of this commemorative silver piece features a powerful representation of achievement: a determined wheelchair athlete propelled forward, capturing the energy and ambition synonymous with the Paralympic movement. This design was masterfully brought to life by noted artist Marika Somogyi, whose work underscores the blend of strength and grace. On the reverse, a soaring eagle is depicted with an olive branch, symbolizing peace and triumph—an emblematic feature of American coinage, reflecting both national pride and international unity through sport.

Using high-caliber minting processes, this silver product boasts a notable purity, enhancing its luster and long-term value. With its 1 troy ounce of pure silver content, it stands as a tangible asset for those seeking to diversify their investment portfolios. The minting processes used by the renowned Denver Mint are internationally respected for their unparalleled attention to detail and consistency, ensuring each release maintains its aesthetic excellence and market value.

This commemorative silver coin was introduced during a time of burgeoning recognition for inclusivity in sport, serving as a recognition piece for the Paralympic Games held in Atlanta. As a mintage limited to its release period, it holds a coveted place among those who appreciate numismatic history. Its significance transcends the collectible market as it marks a period of enhanced acknowledgment and support for athletes with disabilities.

Commemorative pieces like this not only hold financial promise but also stand as representatives of societal evolution, embodying stories that are worth passing on through generations. As collectors and bullion enthusiasts explore diversified holdings, pieces that carry such rich narratives make for treasured additions.

My overall experience has been excellent. Great communication from the start. They let you know the status of your order in a timely manner. Quick shipment after payment clears. Excellent packaging. The fact that Bullion Standard sends a link to confirm whether I've received my product is also remarkable. You can tell they care about the customer, and are trustworthy and reliable, 10/10, would shop again (already have).

I always buy from momentum metals and jam bullion but decided to give you a chance. The coins were sub par and the gold coin was not to my liking
