Not particularly high grade but rare, It is the only one in the NGC census fully graded as there is one with details grading (there are surprisingly more in the PCGS with 4 I think). I do not know that this coin exists uncirculated. Just what one finds on eBay when has nothing better to do...

Here's a couple of Gold coins from Venezuela I bought last year. One weighs 2.9 grams and the other weighs 3.0 grams but I forget the particulars which one is which. Both are 18mm across, sellers pics! Most coin collectors I know personally, don't buy World Gold at all but that's okay, that's what keeps the hobby interesting. Post pics of your World Gold coins if you wish!
don't quote me on it but i think I had about 20 of these years ago but they were smaller , like 1/20th of a troy ounce maybe??
@HoledandCreative I come and go as I need to. Daily checks on my mother, grocery
shopping and taking/picking up my grandson from school. No unnecessary trips.
Take care!!
A BST purchase from a few years ago. These were sold for $35 in 1967 and were popular with collectors in the USA who could not legally own these but did.

No, I've seen the smaller ones but the ones I've seen are approximately 13mm and they weigh 1.5 grams. There could be smaller ones than those but idk.
well fine!!!
I think they are swiss ? I sold all mine to a woman who emigrated here from Venezuela . She had a standing order for any PM from there or anything with Simon Bolivar

Here's one of the smaller size, I have a couple but they're both in jewelry.
My current pride and joy is currently my only World Gold coin in my meager collection at the moment (sold others). I'll be clutching this 6ft under if I have my way LOL.
Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.
Hi Cathy, been a while. Haven’t been actively adding to my collections lately. Been busy with the grandkids (and deciding what each gets from my collection).

Don't think I've ever come across so many great looking gold coins and rarities on any coin forum anywhere! I appreciate the show and tell!
What does the term “touchpiece” mean? I’ve heard the term in English auction catalogs, but I’ve never actually understood it.
Edited to say, never mind. Google knew it!

Touchpiece = king issued to supposedly to prevent scrofula and other maladies....
