The Johnson Matthey “Right to Vote” 1 oz Silver Round honors one of the most defining rights in American democracy—the right of every citizen to have a voice in their government. Struck in the early 1980s as part of Johnson Matthey’s highly regarded “Freedom Series,” this round celebrates the 24th Amendment, which outlawed poll taxes and secured free and fair access to the ballot box. Minted from .999 fine silver by one of the most respected names in precious metals, it blends historical reverence with lasting intrinsic value.
