Description
This promotional token, with an unknown mintage year, was likely issued as part of a marketing campaign targeting silver dealers and bullion advertisers, possibly in the United States. The obverse of the token features a clear and bold inscription:
“SILVER DOLLARS FOR SILVER DEALERS”, directly appealing to a niche numismatic and trade audience.
The reverse depicts flags bearing lion emblems, suggesting a heraldic or symbolic representation of strength and value. Surrounding the image is the full lettering:
“SILVER ON RADIO IS LIKE STERLING DOLLAR SM”, a slogan-style phrase implying that radio advertising for silver has solid, sterling-like impact—connecting broadcast media with precious metal marketing.
The exact origin, issuer, and mintage remain unknown, placing this token within the category of modern commercial exonumia. It would have likely been distributed among dealers, traders, or participants in silver marketing promotions. Its relevance today lies in the intersection of numismatics, advertising history, and bullion trade memorabilia.
Collectors of precious metal tokens, bullion dealer-related issues, or American trade exonumia may find this piece both thematically and historically appealing.
