1 oz Silver St Helena Boston Tea Party Coin 2023

On December 16, 1773, in Boston, Massachusetts, the historic political protest known as the Boston Tea Party unfolded. It was a crucial moment in the resistance against British taxation policies leading up to the American Revolution. The discontent stemmed from various taxes imposed by the British government without the consent of the American colonies. The Tea Act of 1773, a particular source of contention, granted the British East India Company a monopoly on tea sales in the colonies. This act allowed them to sell tea at a reduced price, undermining local tea merchants.

Details

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
