The 1973 Franklin Mint “The Ruffled Grouse” Sterling Silver Plate is a finely crafted collectible featuring detailed wildlife artwork, typically depicting the ruffed grouse in its natural habitat, rendered with the precision and artistry for which Franklin Mint issues are known. Struck in solid sterling silver (.925), this plate was part of a limited-edition series produced during the early 1970s, appealing to both collectors of nature-themed art and precious metal enthusiasts. While its original appeal centered on its artistic design and limited mintage, current market value is driven primarily by its intrinsic silver content rather than collectible demand, as many Franklin Mint silver plates trade close to melt value based on weight and prevailing silver prices, with condition and original packaging offering only minor premiums in most cases.

The 1974 Calendar / Art Medal is a handsome blending of the mystical signs of the Zodiac with the calendar for the new year.
"I was really pleased with the challenge of sculpturing this medal." explains sculptor Ernest Lauser. "Since the calendar for this medal was to be placed with six months to a side, the design called for an approach different from past years when all twelve months were on one side. The fluid action of the twelve signs of the Zodiac seemed most appropriate for the design. Particularly when one thinks of the close association of the Zodiac and the calendar months. Early man relied on nature --- the sun, moon and stars --- to record and measure the passage of time, just as we use the calendar."

Lauser is a  Sagittarian, and his design shows the careful planning and imagination attributed to those born under this Zodiac sign. His delightful renderings of the age-old Zodiac symbols give a sense of animation to the Calendar / Art Medal --- a feeling that the monthly calendars and the signs are in orbit around the design's central figures.

The 1974 Calendar/Art Medal was minted in both sterling silver and bronze. Each medal is 76mm in diameter and is individually oxidized (antiqued), giving it a special finish which allows handling without damage to the surface.
