the upcoming 300 year tri centennial
anniversary of benjamin franklins birth is soon apon us 1706 to 2006
and i think a fitting memorial to one of our most patrotic first americans who played a most significant part in establishing our monetary system
would be a new half dollar
with him on the obverse with the same portrait as the franklins halves of the middle of 20th century
but with a new twist for the reverse
Ben Franklin is the only man whose signature appears on OUR
four most important documents
the
Declaration of Independence
Treaty of Alliance with France
Treaty of Paris at the close of the Revolutionary War
Constitution of the United States
these four documents, in other words a reasonable facimile thereof should be the reverse of this new half dollar with again the bust of franklin on the obverse for 2006!!
