The Denver Nuggets were founded in 1967 as the Denver Larks in the American Basketball Association (ABA). Before their first season, the team changed its name to the Rockets and later adopted the Nuggets name in 1974. The franchise joined the NBA in 1976 as part of the ABA–NBA merger. Today, 1 oz NBA Denver Nuggets Silver Rounds are available from BullionMax.

The obverse of the 1 oz Denver Nuggets Silver Round features the team’s current logo. Introduced in 2018, the logo displays two crossed pickaxes with a mountain peak in the background, symbolizing Colorado’s mining history and the Rocky Mountains that surround Denver.

The reverse of the NBA Denver Nuggets Silver Round shows the official NBA logo. The familiar design depicts a basketball player dribbling within a vertical rectangle, a symbol that has represented the league’s image for more than fifty years.

The Nuggets name pays homage to an earlier Denver basketball team that played from 1948 to 1950 and reflects the region’s gold rush heritage. Since moving into Ball Arena (formerly Pepsi Center) in 1999, the franchise has remained a consistent contender, achieving its first NBA Championship in 2023.

Each 1 oz NBA Denver Nuggets Silver Round is available in Brilliant Uncirculated condition and comes in a protective flip. The NBA Silver Round Collection features BU and colorized silver rounds for all 30 NBA franchises, each with a shared NBA reverse design.
