| Internal Notes | American Argent Mint Ltd. produced several silver “Trade Unit” designs during the bullion boom of the late 1970s and early 1980s.
The balancing-scale obverse is one of AAM’s most recognizable motifs, symbolizing equal value, stability, and honest weight.
Reverse features a stylized American shield with the motto “IN GOD WE TRUST”, reinforcing trade-unit branding common before the 1986 Silver Eagle era.
Frequently collected alongside other pre-Eagle private-mint trade units such as World Trade Rounds, Silver Trade Units, Constitution Mint, and U.S. Silver Corp.
Silver content is guaranteed at one troy ounce of .999 fine silver. |
