1946 HK-873 U.N. Monetary Gold Pattern, MS62
One of 314 Pieces Struck
1946 U.N. Monetary Pattern, HK-873, MS62 NGC. Gold, 37 mm.
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. Census: 1 in 62, 23 finer (4/08).
