2025 1 oz Shield Against All Enemies Silver Round (BU)

The 2025 1 oz Silver Shield "Against All Enemies" Silver Round (BU) is part of Golden State Mint's Silver Shield Collection, a series known for combining .999 fine silver with bold designs inspired by themes of liberty, civic responsibility, justice, and individual freedom.

Each round contains 1 troy ounce of .999 fine silver and is struck in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. Produced by Golden State Mint, these rounds are newly minted and are not sourced from secondary markets. As a privately minted silver round, it carries no face value and is not legal tender.

The round is also IRA eligible, meeting IRS purity requirements for Precious Metals Self-Directed IRA inclusion.

The Design's Theme: "Against All Enemies, Foreign and Domestic"

The phrase "against all enemies, foreign and domestic" is deeply rooted in American civic tradition. It appears in the Oath of Office sworn by the President of the United States, members of Congress, federal judges, and members of the U.S. Armed Forces:

"I solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic..."

This oath serves as the inspiration behind the round's design. The accompanying concept references a quotation attributed to the Roman statesman Cicero, contrasting visible external threats with internal betrayal. The message reflects vigilance, civic responsibility, and the preservation of constitutional principles.

As with all Silver Shield releases, the design is intended to encourage discussion and reflection rather than simply serve as a decorative bullion piece.

A Note on Perspective

Silver Shield designs often explore political, philosophical, or cultural themes. The viewpoints associated with this round represent the perspective of its creator and should be viewed in that context. Golden State Mint notes that the concepts and supporting commentary originate with the individual designer and do not necessarily represent the views of Golden State Mint or BOLD Precious Metals. Collectors should approach the piece as they would any artwork or themed collectible.

The Silver Shield Collection: Bullion with a Message

Since its introduction in 2016, the Silver Shield Collection has become one of Golden State Mint's most distinctive bullion series. Rather than focusing on traditional bullion imagery such as eagles, buffalos, or historical figures, Silver Shield releases use silver as a medium for artistic and philosophical expression. Each design explores a different idea, often drawing from history, politics, economics, religion, or concepts of personal liberty.

Past and current releases include themes such as:

• Don't Tread on Me
• Liberty or Death
• Crucifixion
• No Better Friend
• The Eye

Together, these designs have helped establish Silver Shield as a series with a dedicated collector following and a style unlike most modern bullion programs.

Series Highlights

• .999 fine silver purity across the collection
• Standard 1 oz format, with select designs also available in fractional sizes
• Common reverse featuring the Silver Shield logo and weight/purity information
• Limited mintages on many releases
• Mint-fresh products sourced directly from Golden State Mint

• Current and former government officials
• Members of law enforcement
• Students of constitutional history and civics
• Silver Shield collectors building a complete set
• Buyers interested in themed or message-driven bullion

Investment Considerations

• Silver Content: Each round contains 1 troy ounce of .999 fine silver. Melt value can be calculated using: Current silver spot price × 1.
• IRA Eligibility: The round meets IRS purity requirements for Precious Metals IRA inclusion. Investors should confirm acceptance requirements with their chosen custodian prior to purchase.
• Collectible Appeal: Many Silver Shield designs are produced in lower quantities than large-scale bullion programs, creating additional collector interest beyond their silver content alone. Collectors often seek specific themes, complete annual runs, or historically significant designs within the series.
• No Face Value: This round is privately minted and carries no government-backed denomination. Its value is derived from its silver content and any premium associated with its collectibility.
