The Commander Series from Scottsdale Mint continues to honor the world’s most influential military leaders through expertly crafted bullion coins struck in both silver and gold. Each release showcases exceptional detail and celebrates the legacy of figures whose leadership shaped the course of history. The series pays tribute to legendary historical figures who played pivotal roles as leaders throughout history. Previous releases included Napoleon Bonaparte, General Patton, Hernán Cortés, Emperor Julius Caesar, Ulysses S. Grant, and Charlemagne.
As we approach one of the most important milestones in American history—the 250th Anniversary of American Independence—the Scottsdale Mint proudly unveils the most highly anticipated addition to the Commander Series: General George Washington. To honor this momentous release, each coin features the first and only Privy Mark ever used in the series: a striking Liberty Bell engraved with a bold “250,” officially designated as the Freedom Privy. This powerful symbol elevates the coin into a true collector’s piece, commemorating both a legendary leader and a once-in-a-lifetime patriotic celebration.
George Washington stands as one of the greatest figures in American history — a brilliant commander, fearless leader, and the steady hand that guided a nation’s birth. From his bold victory at Trenton, where he crossed the icy Delaware River to strike a decisive blow on Christmas of 1776, to the pivotal triumph at Yorktown that secured America’s independence, Washington proved time and again that he possessed unmatched courage and strategic genius. As the nation’s first president, he set the gold standard for leadership, integrity, and vision. The George Washington Commander release celebrates not just a founding father, but a legendary hero whose strength, honor, and unwavering resolve shaped the United States itself.
Struck in .9999 fine gold, this compact yet premium piece offers an accessible entry point into the Commander Series while retaining the artistry and historical significance the program is known for.
Available at SD Bullion, this gold release is ideal for collectors of historical-themed bullion, fans of the Commander Series, and those seeking fractional gold with strong visual appeal.
