Washington's Diplomatic Medal - 1 oz Solid Gold PCGS Gem Proof DCAM
This 2013 Washington's Diplomatic Medal is an exceptional and rare reproduction of the original diplomatic gift first authorized by George Washington in 1792. Unlike many lesser-quality replicas that are merely gold-clad, this medal is struck in solid 1 oz of .999 fine gold by the Monnaie de Paris, ensuring its authenticity and value. The obverse of the medal features an intricate depiction of America as a Native American princess offering a cornucopia to Mercury, symbolizing prosperity and peace. The reverse showcases the Great Seal of the United States, representing national unity and authority.
This medal has been expertly graded by PCGS as a Gem Proof Deep Cameo (DCAM), highlighting its superior quality with a strong contrast between the frosted devices and the mirrored fields. This particular medal is numbered 0215 out of a highly limited mintage of just 1,776 pieces, making it a coveted item for serious collectors.
