Few companies in the
entire world have touched the lives of
more people than The Franklin Mint. For
more than 40 years, the world’s leading
private mint has created works of fine
art, magnificent objets d'Art, and
treasured collectibles that not only
bring us joy, but that enhance our
lives as we share their beauty and
significance with family and
friends.
The Franklin Mint was
founded in 1964 when it began striking
legal tender coins for foreign
countries, as well as commemorative
medallions, casino tokens and precious
metal ingots. Eventually, the product
line was expanded to include the
sculptures, deluxe games, precision
die-cast models, beautiful collector
dolls, and more sought-after
collectibles for which the Mint is now
world famous.
Throughout its history,
the Mint’s gifted artists and artisans
have built a reputation based firmly on
an uncompromising commitment to
excellence, attention to detail, and a
vibrant spirit of innovation that
continues to set industry standards.
The fruits of their talents are evident
in every creation that bears the
company’s prestigious mintmark..
Through the years, The
Franklin Mint has achieved enormous
success with the introduction of some
of the best-selling collectibles ever
issued, including The Civil
War Chess Set, Monopoly: The
Collector’s Edition, the
spectacular scale re-creation of the
Harley-Davidson Heritage
Softail Classic—as well
as scoring huge successes with an array
of products authorized by General
Motors, Ford Motor Company, Elvis
Presley Enterprises, Paramount Studios,
and The Smithsonian Institution, to
name just a few.
Success, however, is
not determined by numbers alone. The
real measure is in the way Franklin
Mint creations enrich the lives of the
people who own them—the realization
that they possess works of unparalleled
quality, artistry and craftsmanship to
enjoy, display, and pass on to future
generations with pride. It is to this
end that The Franklin Mint will always
be passionately
devoted.
