Hoffman and Hoffman Silver Unicorn Round

Circa 1981   Origin  United States

Est Value: $30 - $40 US based on market and demand. I would insure this round on your house insurance for $50 - $60 US .... 

HOFFMAN & HOFFMAN SILVER ROUND, "UNICORN".
CONTAINS 1 FULL TROY OUNCE OF SILVER! A vintage round, much sought-after in Europe!
Issued to pay the costs of the famous Hoffman & Hoffman trial.
When the US government defaulted on payment of silver certificates in silver bullion, Hoffman & Hoffman, (a law company), launched a court case against them. They lost the case and were left with huge costs, so they took the silver metal off the edges of the huge number of silver certificates in their possession and melted it down, creating these stunning rounds in 1981. The obverse has a simple design of a unicorn leaping over the H&H logo, whilst the reverse states clearly that this is a one troy ounce round made in 1981. This round is made from a full 1 troy ounce (31.1 grams) of .999 purity (fine) silver and is supplied in a pouch. Hard to find in Europe and as a result often sell for a price over silver price. 

Thanks for sharing ...  Please leave me some feedback ...
