The Lincoln Mint 1971 Annual Plate: "Unicorn Dyonisiaque" by Salvador Dali.

The Lincoln Mint 1971 Annual Plate:
"Unicorn Dyonisiaque"
by Salvador Dali.

The card that comes with this plate boasts that it is the first sterling silver plate ever created featuring the work of Salvador Dali.

The plate measures 8" across, weighs about 218 g, and is numbered on the reverse side with a 4-digit serial number. 

It is unclear how many of these were produced.  Some online sellers represent that there were 1000 produced, however other sellers quote serial numbers higher than 1000.  A 4-digit serial number seems to suggest that a maximum of 9999 were produced.

Of the three Lincoln Mint Dali plates, this one seems to be in the middle--not the most common, but not the most rare.

It tends to sell for less than the value of the silver (~$233) at today's market price (~$36 / troy ounce).  So, expect to pay about $190.

It comes in a white presentation box with a purple velvet interior.  The information card accompanying the plate is also pictured here.
