Description
1946 Gold U.N. Monetary Pattern, MS62
HK-873, Proposed International Coinage
1946 U.N. Monetary Pattern in Gold MS62 NGC. HK-873. 37 mm,
.900 fineness. Dies by Karl Gruppe. Struck by Medallic Art Company
under the direction of famed numismatists Abe Kosoff and Hans
Schulman to convey their concept of an international currency, one
year after the formation of the United Nations. Although issued in
eleven different compositions, only 314 single-thickness gold
patterns were produced. Double, triple, and quadruple-thickness
gold pieces were also struck, but in quantities of four each. The
current example displays full prooflike brilliance, however the
presence of a few light hairlines and fingerprint remnants on the
reverse limit this piece to the assigned grade.
