| Notes: |
Same specification as the Krugerrand. Comes encapsulated in a certified slab from the Gold Society. This example: "CERT No. (printed) K1093 (by hand)" and "POINT VALUE (printed) 112 (by hand)". The slab comes in an oblong fitted case, black on the outside and lined with red velvet-like and white silk-like material. In gold letters on the outside: "THE GOLD SOCIETY". The medal commemorates the 10th Anniversary of the Gold Society (not of the Krugerrand). The Society marketed proof Krugerrands, fractional proof Krugerrands, and proof gold medals to its members. Each coin was slabbed and given a point value measure of quality. The President of The Gold Society was Eli Levine. The Society no longer exists. A similarly designed medal was issued containing 1/10 ounce of fine gold (Laidlaw 1369). |
