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.
