Gemini Giant 1 oz Icons of Route 66 Shield - United States

Gemini Giant 1 oz Icons of Route 66 Shield

First release of the Icons of Route 66 Series is a perfect way to continue the adventure.

Peeking over the lush Illinois landscape, the first Icons of Route 66 release features the recognizable face of the Gemini Giant, which stands outside the Launching Pad restaurant in Wilmington, Illinois. The 30-foot-tall statue is one of many giant “Muffler Man” advertising props found throughout the United States in the 1960s, selling mufflers, hot dogs, axes and more. One of the most photographed attractions along Route 66, the Gemini Giant was named after the Gemini space program and holds a Silver rocket ship while wearing a space helmet that resembles a welding mask.

Contains 1 oz of .999 Silver.
