Historical Notes | In December 1979, Herman Bernard of High Point, N.C., generously donated his twenty-four-coin set of Bechtler gold to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. That set is currently on exhibit in the North Carolina Collection Gallery in Wilson Library, where over 10,000 numismatic specimens are preserved. This is one of the specimens from the Bernard Collection. The most distinguishing element on this specimen, which is classified as being part of the Bechtlers’ fifth series, is the backward “N” on the coin’s reverse. |
