Obverse Description
The obverse features MK BarZ’s rugged, hand-poured style with a recessed stamped design. A pair of stylized pistol muzzles face outward, framing the central text “PROTECTED BY OUR 2ND”. Above this reads “WE THE PEOPLE,” and below is the maker’s hallmark “MKBARZ” followed by “.999 FS” (Fine Silver). The bottom arc reads “AMMENDMENT,” a characteristic misspelling that appears on genuine MK BarZ dies for this issue. The entire design sits within a raised poured rim showing hand-finished texture.
Reverse Description
The reverse is left intentionally blank, showing the natural surface of hand-poured silver with cooling marks, strike lines, and pour ripples visible. This unstamped back is typical of MK BarZ poured rounds, giving each piece a unique appearance.
