    Congrats on a great piece! Very nice for a low ball collection as there's only one lower!

    It's not visible on this specimen, but the sign on the on pavilion says "Fountain of Youth 1513" as shown below from CoinFacts. Imagine if it said "400th Anniversary of the Discovery of the Fountain of Youth"!

    Also notable is that this was struck by Benjamin S. Whitehead and Chester R. Hoag.

    The alligator gives it a nice touch.

    Sorta like the Dolphins on the Standing Liberty Quarter Pattern.

    It is a really nice CircCam specimen! Unfortunately, it's not mine, just great photos courtesy of our hosts.

    Why members continue to feign ignorance of So-Called Dollars is one of the forum's biggest mysteries. As to the subject medal, who among us has taken a drink from The Fountain of Youth in St. Augustine?? :p

    A nice pocket piece So-Called Dollar! They are seldom seen with that much wear.

    All glory is fleeting.
