# M12032 - 2006 Benjamin Franklin, Founding Father, Silver Dollar, Uncirculated

Own a U.S. Silver Dollar Honoring Benjamin Franklin the Statesman
Only 1 Coin Available!

This coin was minted in 2006 to celebrate Benjamin Franklin’s 300th birthday.  The 90% silver coin pictures Franklin as an elder statesman with his signature on the front.  The back of the coin pictures a 1776 Continental Dollar, which Benjamin Franklin is credited with designing.  The 1776 coin pictured a sun shining down on a sun dial next to “Fugio” (Latin for “I flee”).  It also includes the inscription, “Mind Your Business,” seemingly stating, “Time flies, so mind your business.”  Surcharges from the sale of the Franklin silver dollar went to the Benjamin Franklin Tercentenary Commission.

Franklin was the only person to sign all four of the key documents in United States history: the Declaration of Independence, the Treaty of Alliance with France, the Treaty of Paris with Great Britain, and the Constitution of the United States.  As a statesman, he stands among the top rank of the people who built our nation.
