Why Make This PF70 UC 1903 Morgan United States Treasury 1 oz. Proof Gold Medal the Next Addition to Your Collection?

While the United States Treasury was formed in 1789, it wasn't until 1903 that the first U.S. Treasury medal was issued by the U.S. Mint. The 1 oz. gold proof shown here is a recreation of that medal. It was authorized by the Smithsonian and struck by a private Mint. Mintage of this historic recreation was extremely low, only 200 were struck. This only adds to its considerable collectible appeal.

Masterful Designs by Morgan

The obverse of this medal depicts the first man to serve as Secretary of the Treasury, Alexander Hamilton. This portrait was designed by George T. Morgan. Even today, it is regarded as a masterpiece and one of Morgan's greatest works. Retired Chief Engraver of the U.S. Mint John Mercanti called it "a masterwork of art and numismatics."

The design on the reverse shows the seal of the United States Treasury. However, this design is based on the original U.S. Treasury seal.
