1974 1 Oz Hoffman & Hoffman World Trade Type 2 Round BU

Although no mint mark is present, the reverse on this round is used exclusively by Hoffman & Hoffman in the 1970s. The date on Type 1 rounds is at the bottom, similar to the 1973 rounds.  The obverse on Type 2 rounds has been retooled with the date moved to the top.

Obverse: The obverse contains several symbols and inscriptions with the design centered around a globe. A banner beneath the globe contains the phrase "WORLD TRADE"  while the outer edge contains the content inscriptions of "DE L'ARGENT PUR, ECHT SILBER, ARGENTO PURO, PURE SILVER, PLATA PURA, " and the equivalent text in Japanese. The purity is inscribed both above and below the globe with the phrases "999 FINE" and "99.9 % PURE". The date is inscribed at the top.

Reverse: The central feature of the reverse is the common motif of trade unit scales. The scales are flanked by coins on the left and a stalk of wheat on the right. The main inscription reads "THE INTERNATIONAL" at the top and is completed by "UNIVERSAL TRADE UNIT" at the bottom. The weight inscriptions are found immediately above and below the scales, with "ONE TROY OUNCE" above and "31.1 GRAMS / 480 GRAINS" below.
