Issued alongside the Scientist coin to honor the 300th anniversary of Benjamin Franklin's birth, the 2006-P Founding Father Silver Commemorative celebrates his pivotal role in shaping the political foundations of the United States. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, this Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) version offers sharp definition and a satiny finish that highlights one of the most iconic American legacies.

Benjamin Franklin was instrumental in the birth of the United States not only as a diplomat and statesman but also as a signer of the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution. This coin commemorates his role in establishing American ideals of liberty, self-governance, and civic responsibility. The design draws directly from Franklin's own work and symbolism during the nation's founding.
