Lexington–Concord Issue (1775–1925)
22K Gold Golden Replica Stamp

Commemorating “The Shot Heard Round the World”

It began in the quiet dawn of April 1775. On the misty village green of Lexington, Massachusetts, a handful of colonial militiamen faced the might of the British Redcoats. No one knows who fired first — yet that single, uncertain shot echoed far beyond the morning fog. It became “the shot heard round the world” — the spark that ignited the American Revolution and set thirteen colonies on their path to liberty.

A century and a half later, in 1925, the United States paid tribute to that fateful morning with the Lexington–Concord commemorative stamp — the first in a historic series marking the milestones of America’s struggle for independence.

With the personal support of President Calvin Coolidge — a proud New Englander and former governor of Massachusetts — this issue forever preserved the story of courage, resistance, and the birth of a nation.

This 22-karat gold replica breathes new life into that legacy. Each gleaming surface captures the dawn of independence — a moment when courage changed the course of history.

Encased and preserved in pristine condition, it stands as both a work of art and a tribute to the timeless pursuit of freedom.

1¢ Washington at Cambridge — General George Washington assumes command of the Continental Army
