Fender® Stratocaster® 2022 $2 Shaped 1oz Silver Coin

You Won’t Part With This Fender Stratocaster Guitar-Shaped Legal Tender Coin

The Fender® Stratocaster® guitar took the music world by storm when it debuted in 1954. Part of what grabbed people’s attention was the instrument’s oh-so sweet Surf Green color: a hard-to-come-by tint and varnish that replicated the same color used on the ’56 Chevy! That same color augments this amazing Fender Stratocaster guitar-shaped legal tender coin!

Commemorative Coin Replicates Stratocaster’s Original Color

Struck in a full ounce of highly pure 99.99% silver, this officially licensed coin replicates the unique space-age lines and smooth contours that made this axe an innovation unlike anything previously seen. The “Strat” proved to be so versatile that it soon became the go-to weapon for some of the biggest guitar maestros in rock, blues, country, and even metal and jazz. Some of the many musicians who’ve played the Stratocaster include Jeff Beck, Ritchie Blackmore, Eric Clapton, David Gilmour, George Harrison, Jimi Hendrix, Buddy Holly, Mark Knopfler, and Stevie Ray Vaughan. The addition of the lively Surf Green color is captured perfectly on the coin and is a nod to the Stratocaster original!

Plus, this coin also comes with a Reverse Proof finish. Unlike a regular proof that features frosted details rising over mirror-like fields, a Reverse Proof finish coin was expertly crafted by the mint from hand-selected planchets, polished dies and multiple strikes to produce mirror-like details rising over beautifully frosted fields!

The Unmistakable Fender Stratocaster Slogan

If you’re old enough to remember the original marketing campaign for the Stratocaster—and if you’re not, you really ought to look into it!—Fender launched it with the slogan, “You won’t part with yours either,” featuring musicians and their guitars in improbable situations. Those settings including such scenes as riding a motorcycle, skydiving, in dentist’s chair, and surfing! Your coin will come beautifully housed in its original mint packaging that consists of a presentation box that uses imagery from the original campaign of a man clutching his Stratocaster while catching a wave! You’ll also receive a mint-issued Certificate of Authenticity.
