{"product_id":"route-66-centennial-coin","title":"Route 66 Centennial Coin – 100 Years The Mother Road of America","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Route 66 Centennial coin marks one of the most iconic anniversaries in American road history — 100 years of the Mother Road, from 1926 to 2026. The obverse captures the full sweep of that century in a single image: a 1926 Ford Model A and a modern sports car facing each other on a straight desert highway, Monument Valley’s red rock formations rising on either side, a lone saguaro cactus to the left, the open sky above. The inscriptions \u003cem\u003eRoute 66 Centennial\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe Mother Road of America\u003c\/em\u003e frame the scene, with \u003cem\u003e1926\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003e2026\u003c\/em\u003e flanking the cars and the centennial dates bold across the base.

It became the road of the Great Migration during the Dust Bowl years, the highway of post-war freedom and the American Dream, and one of the most romanticised roads in the world — immortalised in John Steinbeck’s \u003cem\u003eThe Grapes of Wrath\u003c\/em\u003e, Nat King Cole’s \u003cem\u003eGet Your Kicks on Route 66\u003c\/em\u003e, and countless road trip stories. The centennial in 2026 marks 100 years since that first designation — and this coin commemorates every mile of it. The pairing of the 1926 Model A and the modern sports car on the obverse tells the whole story in one image: where it started, and how far it has come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eObverse:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1926 Ford Model A and modern sports car on desert highway, Monument Valley backdrop, Route 66 Centennial \/ The Mother Road of America \/ 1926–2026 inscriptions, colour enamel fill\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReverse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bald eagle clutching Route 66 highway shield, red and blue enamel, 100 Years \/ 1926–2026 \/ The Mother Road of America inscriptions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Iron with antique silver finish and colour enamel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 40g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Antique silver with red and blue enamel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Transparent round plastic protective case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDisplayed images show the collectible design and enamel colour detail.
