A Tribute to America’s Legendary Innovator

Celebrate one of history’s greatest inventors with the Samuel Colt 2 oz Silver Coin – The Father of the Revolver. Struck from two troy ounces of .999 fine silver, this coin honors the man who changed firearms and modern industry forever.

From the bustling workshops of Hartford, Connecticut, Samuel Colt reshaped weapon design with his revolving chamber firearm. His vision set new standards for precision, innovation, and mass production. Moreover, his factory system helped launch a new age of American manufacturing. This collectible captures the story of a man whose ideas still echo through the modern world.

A Work of Art and History

The reverse side displays a detailed portrait of Samuel Colt holding his iconic 1851 Colt Navy Revolver. His engraved signature appears beside him, confirming his enduring legacy. To the left, an early gun-manufacturing machine symbolizes the birth of industrial production. In the background, a reproduction of Colt’s original U.S. Patent No. 7629, granted on September 10, 1850, highlights the breakthrough that changed firearm engineering.

Around the edge, interlocking gear motifs represent progress and the mechanical age Colt helped define. As a result, every feature of this design pays homage to invention, precision, and determination.

A Glimpse Inside the Colt Armory

The obverse brings collectors inside the historic Colt Armory. At the center, Colt studies blueprints while workers around him assemble and test gun components. This lively factory scene reflects the heartbeat of innovation during the 19th century. In addition, striped banners line the ceiling, framing the Coat of Arms of Samoa, which marks the coin’s legal tender status. The combination of national symbolism and American ingenuity creates a unique visual balance rarely seen in modern coinage.

A Rare Piece of History

Issued by Samoa in 2025, this 2 oz silver coin is struck in antiqued ultra-high relief, giving it incredible depth and texture.
