This is what I could find ——but no sales to be found- Gaspee Commemorative Coin was designed by Donald J. Breig, a Pawtuxet die cutter at the request of the Gaspee Days Committee. The obverse features the silhouette of the Gaspee surrounded by thirteen stars. The reverse shows the Independent Man and the legend, 'First Blow for Freedom'. On March 16, 1972, at Breig's die shop, 5 Aborn Street, Cranston, the Gaspee Day Bicentennial Commemorative Coin was struck. 1772 silver coins were made and sold for $10 each, and an unlimited number of copper coins were sold for $3 each.
The first silver coin was delivered to Governor Frank Licht, accompanied by Cranston Mayor James L. Tait and Warwick Mayor Philip Noel. Another silver coin was hand delivered to President Richard Nixon in Washington for inclusion in the Smithsonian Institution. The dies for the coins were destroyed on December 31, 1972.
