The 2006 Benjamin Franklin Silver Dollar was issued for the 300th anniversary of the birth of this important figure in American history. Different silver dollar designs were released featuring Benjamin Franklin in his younger years as a scientist and his older years as a statesman and Founding Father.

The Benjamin Franklin "Founding Father" Silver Dollar features a head and shoulders portrait of an older Franklin with his signature reproduced below. He had been the only person to sign all four major documents instrumental to founding the United States- the Constitution, the Treaty of Paris, the Treaty of Alliance, and Amity and Commerce. Inscriptions read "Benjamin Franklin Tercentenary","1706 – 2006", and "In God We Trust". The reverse design features a copy of a 1776 Continental Dollar with modern lettering around the rim reading "United States of America", "E Pluribus Unum", and "One Dollar".

Proof and uncirculated versions were produced at the Philadelphia Mint, as a nod to Franklin’s ties to the city.

The proof version of the Founding Father coin was included in the 2006 American Legacy Collection.
