Founded in 1902, Engelhard Corporation built a strong reputation in precious metals refining, production, and sales before BASF acquired the company in 2006. Known for their quality and consistency, Engelhards silver and gold bars and rounds became some of the most respected pieces among collectors and investors. Right now, Provident Metals offers 1 oz Gold 1975 Prospector Rounds.
Highlights:
Each 1 oz Gold 1975 Prospector Round here comes secured in a plastic flip. These gold rounds were created by Engelhard in the 1970s and are available now as secondary market items, meaning they come from sources other than the original mint.
Obverse
The obverse side of the Gold 1975 Prospector Round carries the Engelhard logo. This design features a globe with grid lines and the companys initials. A beaded pattern frames the logo, listing the rounds weight, metal type, and purity. The inscriptions read ENGELHARD and ONE TROY OUNCE FINE GOLD.
Reverse
On the reverse of 1 oz Gold Prospector Rounds, a gold prospector kneels along a creek, evoking the 19th-century rush for gold in America. The California Gold Rush of 1849, in particular, marked a transformative time in history, drawing hundreds of thousands of prospectors who hoped to make their fortunes. These individuals traveled great distances and faced challenging conditions to try their luck in the American West. Inscriptions here read THE AMERICAN GOLD PROSPECTOR, U.S.A., and 1975.
History
With their solid weight and purity, Engelhard silver and gold items gained a strong following, and collectors value them for their high standards and historical significance. This makes Engelhard bars and rounds popular with both investors and numismatic enthusiasts.
