The USS Constitution, often called “Old Ironsides,” stands as a powerful symbol of America’s naval legacy. Launched in 1797, she was one of the original six frigates ordered by the Naval Act of 1794 and remains the world’s oldest commissioned warship still afloat. The USS Constitution earned her nickname during the War of 1812 when British cannonballs seemed to bounce off her resilient oak hull, leading sailors to say her sides were made of iron. Right now, 1 oz U.S.S. Constitution Ship Silver Rounds are available from BullionMax.

Each 1 oz U.S.S. Constitution Ship Silver Round offered here arrives in a plastic flip to keep it protected and pays homage to America’s founding principles. Featuring text from Article 1, Section 10 of the U.S. Constitution, this round honors both the nation’s history and its Navy with a design depicting the U.S.S. Constitution. These rounds were produced by Liberty Mint and Constitution Mint, both based in Provo, Utah, during the 1970s and 1980s.

The Constitution’s design was cutting-edge for its time, blending heavy firepower and speed to create a highly effective combat ship. Her most notable victories occurred in the War of 1812 when she defeated five British warships, including HMS Guerriere and HMS Java. These wins boosted American morale and established the U.S. Navy’s strength on the world stage.

On the obverse side of the U.S.S. Constitution Ship Silver Rounds, you’ll see Old Ironsides sailing across open waters. Today, the USS Constitution is stationed as a museum ship in Boston Harbor, where she is actively maintained by U.S. Navy sailors. Periodic restorations preserve her historical structure, with the latest major restoration completed in 2017. She occasionally sails for special events, showcasing her enduring craftsmanship and the expertise behind her over-200-year-old construction.

The reverse of the 1 oz Constitution Ship Silver Round includes text from Article 1, Section 10 of the Constitution. It reads, “NO STATE SHALL…MAKE ANYTHING BUT GOLD AND SILVER COIN A TENDER IN PAYMENT OF DEBT.” Identifying hallmarks for the round appear here as well.
