A common currency proposed by Abe Kosoff and M. F. Schulman in 1945 when the United Nations came into being. Reportedly a specimen was sent to the U.S. Mint director, who opposed its use, stating that it was Treasury department policy to to discourage manufacture of any item that looked so much like a coin. Stacks in April 2024 sold a 62 for $720 and in September 2024 sold another 62 for $552. At MS 63 this is certified finer and is less than both of the pieces sold by stacks.
