The Houston Rockets were founded in 1967 as the San Diego Rockets, joining the NBA as an expansion team. The name “Rockets” was inspired by San Diego’s aerospace industry and its reputation as “A City in Motion.” After four seasons, the franchise relocated to Houston in 1971. Today, 1 oz NBA Houston Rockets Silver Rounds are available from BullionMax.

• Contains 1 troy oz of .999 pure silver in BU condition.
• The obverse depicts the Rockets’ logo.
• On the reverse is the NBA logo.

The team’s move to Houston required no name change, as “Rockets” perfectly fit the city’s identity as home to NASA’s Johnson Space Center. The franchise has enjoyed major success, highlighted by back-to-back NBA Championships in 1994 and 1995, along with more recent playoff runs in the late 2010s.

The obverse of the 1 oz Houston Rockets Silver Round displays the team’s current logo. Introduced in 2003, it features a stylized “R” with a rocket trail shooting upward through a circular outline, symbolizing motion, energy, and ambition.

The reverse of the NBA Houston Rockets Silver Round shows the NBA’s official logo—a silhouette of a basketball player dribbling inside a rectangular field. This timeless image has represented the league’s global identity for over fifty years.

Each 1 oz NBA Houston Rockets Silver Round is available in Brilliant Uncirculated condition and packaged in a protective flip. These rounds are part of the NBA Silver Round Collection, which includes BU and colorized versions showcasing the official logos of all 30 NBA franchises.
