1981 1 Oz Dallas TV Show JR Ewing Round BU

Lorimar Productions created and produced the "Dallas" TV Drama, which ran from 1978 to 1991. The series revolved around an affluent and feuding Texas family who owned the independent oil company Ewing Oil and cattle-ranching land in Southfork. J. R. Ewing, the show's breakout character, was consistently involved in schemes and dirty business dealings. These schemes became the show's trademark. Peak viewership occurred during the 1980 and 1981 seasons, creating a market for show-related memorabilia. This round was produced during that time. The mint and mintage for this round are unknown, but the round is rare.

Obverse: The obverse depicts a detailed Dallas skyline. The Reunion Tower is a prominent feature in the image. The show's name, "DALLAS", is inscribed at the top. Inscriptions below the skyline include "ONE TRADE UNIT" and the weight and composition of “ONE TROY OUNCE .999 FINE SILVER”.

Reverse: The reverse features a front-facing portrait of J.R. Ewing in his cowboy hat superimposed on an outline of the state of Texas. The inscription “J.R. EWING SILVER” is found at the center left with a “TM” directly underneath. The name "TEXAS" arches across the top. A two-line inscription at the bottom reads “ALL RIGHTS RESERVED / © 1981 LORIMAR PRODUCTIONS”.
