1 oz Ag - Founder of Liberty: Cicero | Keep & Bear Arms (Antique)

This antique-finish silver round pays tribute to Marcus Tullius Cicero, the influential Roman statesman who lived from 106 BC to 43 BC. Renowned as a lawyer, politician, and philosopher, Cicero is celebrated for elevating Latin to an academic language and championing the fundamental right of citizens to carry weapons for self-defense. His philosophical writings later served as a vital source of inspiration for the Founding Fathers of the United States as they drafted the framework of American liberty. Crafted from one troy ounce of 0.999 fine silver, the round features an obverse portrait of Cicero designed by Joel Iskowitz. The reverse side presents a detailed shield flanked by historical weapons, flags, and muskets, symbolizing the enduring defense of personal freedom. This limited-run piece, with a mintage of just 500 rounds, serves as a tangible link between ancient Roman philosophy and modern constitutional principles.
