Commemorating the 250th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party, this 1 oz Silver BU coin showcases a stunning design in .999 Silver. Between 7 and 10 p.m. on that fateful night, the Sons of Liberty led a sizable group of men to board the ships in the harbor. Approximately 46 tons of tea, valued at nearly £10,000 in 1773, were dumped into Boston Harbor. In response, the British government implemented the 1774 "Intolerable Act," also known as the Boston Port Act, which led to the shutdown of the harbor. This action further fueled the colonists' anger, strengthening their resistance against the British and setting in motion events that ultimately led to the American Revolution in Massachusetts
