2020 1 oz GSM Silver Shield Cannabis .999 Silver BU Round

The 2020 1 oz GSM Silver Shield Cannabis .999 Silver BU Round combines bold symbolism with high-quality bullion craftsmanship. Struck by Golden State Mint (GSM) in 1 troy ounce of .999 fine silver, this Brilliant Uncirculated round belongs to the well-known Silver Shield collection—a series famous for its thought-provoking, often provocative designs.

What began as a tongue-in-cheek parody of the Canadian Maple Leaf has grown into a deeper statement piece. This Cannabis design connects two ideas often viewed as disruptive to entrenched systems—silver and cannabis—and presents them as challenges to what the Silver Shield concept calls the “debt and death paradigm.” While the message may be philosophical, the result is straightforward: a visually striking, collectible silver round that stands out in any stack.

About Golden State Mint & the Silver Shield Series

Golden State Mint (GSM) is a private mint known for producing bullion and collectible rounds with clean strikes, clear specifications, and a strong following among stackers. Their products are typically made in the United States and offered in a variety of themes and metals.

The Silver Shield line, in particular, has gained attention for:

• Designs that challenge conventional narratives
• Symbolism relating to freedom, sound money, and personal sovereignty
• Limited-run designs that appeal to collectors as much as bullion buyers

The 2020 Cannabis round fits squarely within that philosophy, blending social commentary with classic bullion fundamentals—weight, purity, and recognizable branding.

Obverse Design – “Cannabis / Legaliser Nature”

The obverse is crafted to appear as though it has been re-struck over a maple leaf design, a clever nod to its parody origins. Beneath the word “Cannabis”, a cannabis leaf takes center stage. Along the lower rim you’ll find the key identifying inscriptions:

• Weight – 1 troy ounce
• Purity – .999 fine silver
• Legend: “Legaliser Nature”

The visual effect is simultaneously familiar and subversive, which is a hallmark of the Silver Shield style.

Reverse Design – Silver Shield Sword & Flames

The reverse showcases a “new and improved” Silver Shield reverse design used for the collection. At the center stands a sword, a classic symbol of strength and defense. Around it, flames circle near the outer rim, adding energy and intensity to the image. Along the rim, inscriptions read:

• “Silver Shield”
• “1 Troy Ounce .999 Pure AG”
• The year-date “2020”

This side serves as the series identity and assures buyers of the round’s metal content and authenticity.
