Notes:
|
This medal is one of a series of one ounce silver medals whose production was initiated by Chris Duane, founder the American Sons of Liberty Academy, after he had proclaimed that the purchase of silver was both a 'Silver Bullet' to rebel against the elite’s corrupt system and a 'Silver Shield' to protect wealth after the collapse of the US Dollar.
American Open Currency Standard (AOCS) is a non-profit organization opposed to fiat money and aims to expedite the use of precious metals as money. AOCS grants approval to new currencies, helps new currency issuers to establish brand identity, and encourages merchants to accept AOCS-approved currencies.
