The term “Continental coin” can refer to a few different things, depending on the context:
- The Continental currency dollar coin (American Revolution): This was the first pattern coin struck for the United States, in 1776. It was designed by Benjamin Franklin and minted in pewter, brass, or silver. These coins are extremely rare, particularly the silver versions, with only a few known to exist. The coin features the words “Mind Your Business” on the obverse and “We Are One” on the reverse, surrounded by 13 state chain links. The Continental currency coin from 1776 serves as a reminder that America was founded on the independence of the individual as well as the nation.
- John Wick Continental gold coins: In the John Wick film series, Continental gold coins are a specialized form of currency used within the criminal underworld. These coins are essential for transacting in the hidden society of assassins and other underworld figures. The coins represent a form of membership and trust, allowing individuals to access services and favors within the underworld. They are not directly convertible to traditional money and their value can fluctuate depending on the individual holding them. APMEX has partnered with Lionsgate to produce exclusive silver replicas of these coins for collectors and fans.
