1 Oz Golden State Mint Locomotion Trade Round BU

Nice vintage collectible bullion round. Hard to find and quite desirable.

Obverse: The obverse features the Locomotion I train from 1825. The name of the train "LOCOMOTION I" is inscribed immediately underneath. The date "1825" is inscribed at the top of the round.

Reverse: The central feature on the reverse is the trade scales, an image found on many trade unit silver rounds. At the top edge the phrase "THE INTERNATIONAL" is inscribed and is continued at the bottom with "WORLD TRADE UNIT". The content "ONE TROY OUNCE" is inscribed immediately below the top inscription. The scales are flanked by sprigs of ivy on either side. Underneath the left scale the weight "31.1 GRAMS" is inscribed which is matched by "480 GRAINS" located beneath the right arm of the scale. The base of the scale contains the name "CALIFORNIA MINT".
