Coin Pocket Watch with Skeleton Movement | Silver Franklin Half Dollar | Genuine U.S. Coin | Sweeping Second Hand, Magnifying Glass | Silvertone Case | Certificate of Authenticity

A Silver Ben Franklin Half Dollar stays secure in the watch casing. It was minted from 1948 to 1963. When it was issued in 1948, Benjamin Franklin became the first person other than a president to be immortalized on a circulating U.S. coin. Even the Liberty Bell on the reverse is a “first”— all previous silver coins featured large stylized eagles (To comply with a requirement to include the national bird, a miniature eagle is adjacent to the bell).

Open the coin casing to a skeleton display, the pocket watch has a mechanical movement, a sweeping second hand, and Roman Numerals. The crown is a push-pull, durable plastic crystal, and the case has a snap-down closure.
