Many famous phrases and concepts emerged from the American Revolution. Most Americans still deeply believe in the concept of no taxation without representation, a key driver in the American Revolution. Another saying that was popular in the colonial era was dont tread on me. This phrase is also still popular in the 21^st century and has appeared on various cultural items such as flags. Today, you can own a silver round inspired by the Gadsden flag with the Dont Tread on Me 1 oz Silver Shield Round available at Provident Metals.

Highlights:

• Available to you with individual plastic flips or tubes of 20 rounds!
• Contains 1 Troy oz of .999 pure silver.
• On the obverse is the popular phrase and a coiled snake, as inspired by the Gadsden flag.
• The reverse face uses the Silver Shield design from the GSM collection.

The phrase Dont Tread on Me was a more aggressive twist on the broader concepts that initiated the American Revolution. While taxation by the distant parliament of Great Britain, in which American colonists had no representation, was the main driver behind the war, Dont Tread on Me became a popular, defiant phrase against the tyranny of distant rulers.

Obverse

For the obverse of the Dont Tread on Me 1 oz Silver Shield Round, the Golden State Mint uses the image of a coiled rattlesnake. The slithering serpent is anything but docile in this depiction as its rattle is raised and the upper portion of its body poised to strike. The snake exposes its fangs and has its forked tongue out as it hisses to let you know its ready to hit out at you. Dont Tread On Me is engraved along the top.

Reverse

The reverse field of all silver rounds in the Silver Shield Collection from GSM features the same design element. Here, you will find a single sword standing on its tip with an ornate background field design. Flames encircle the very outer edge of the design field, with inscriptions identifying the series of issue, as well as the weight, metal content, and purity of the round.
