Item Description
 
The SMI Route 66 “Get Your Kicks” 1 oz Silver Round celebrates one of the most legendary highways in American history. Known as the “Main Street of America,” Route 66 became a symbol of freedom, adventure, and the spirit of the open road after its establishment in 1926.
 
Spanning more than 2,400 miles, the historic highway connected Chicago, Illinois to Santa Monica, California, passing through eight states and serving as a vital transportation route for travelers, migrants, and adventurers during the early 20th century. Over time, Route 66 became deeply woven into American culture through music, film, and literature.
 
Struck from 1 troy ounce of .999 fine silver, this round captures the nostalgic charm of the famous highway with classic Route 66 imagery and design elements inspired by the original road signs and highway markings.
