Experience the spirit of the Wild West: Authentic tradition in a 1/2-ounce silver coin.

The 2026 silver bullion medal is an innovative reissue of the iconic Engelhard Prospector design. Struck from .999 fine silver, it offers a modern interpretation of the legendary design, created with a new generation of investors and collectors in mind.

The original medals from the Prospector series, struck by the renowned Engelhard Corporation mint between 1982 and 1988, have achieved cult status in the precious metals market. The 2026 edition returns to this classic design, giving collectors the opportunity to purchase this iconic piece in perfect, mint condition. The figure of a 19th-century prospector evokes the era of the Gold Rush and symbolizes independence and the spirit of the American frontier.

Obverse:The imageof 19th-century prospectors is a clear reference to the era of great mineral discoveries in North America. These pioneers, traversing the wilderness of Nevada, Colorado, and California with simple equipment for panning gravel, have become a lasting symbol of independence, determination, and a willingness to take risks. Depicting them on a silver medal highlights the coin’s historical roots and the spirit of uncompromising determination, which remains a pillar of American culture to this day.
