Owner's Description

Medal, 1933, AR, MONTANA DOLLAR, So Called Dollar HK-820 Silver, NGC MS62, Cert# 380839-008. Size: 39.7 mm. This medal was issued as a tangible membership card for members of the Montana Silver Association, a group that strongly supported the expanded use of silver for commercial and U.S. monetary uses. Although it is believed that 2,225 pieces were ordered struck, a smaller amount was probably issued, with many melted before being released. Hibler-Kappen (1963) state that "substantially fewer than 100 specimens [are] extant today." Obv. Mining scene in upper center portion, incused M upon hillside; lower center panel inscribed Silver the Key / to / • Prosperity • / 1933; circle around all; between circle and beaded border, * Montana Silver Association * Helena, Montana; Rev. Modification of Montana State Seal, engraved on shield in bas-relief, with inscription Oro y Plata (Gold and Silver) in scroll above shield; legend above, around, * One Troy Ounce of Silver 999 Fine *; below, Montana
