Description: While Americans weren’t allowed to own more than a little gold, and the U.S. Mint hadn’t struck gold coins for Americans for almost 15 years, after World War Two they started striking these gold discs the same actual gold weight as a British Sovereign to pay the Saudi royal family to let ARAMCO have oil rights there.  Why?  They didn’t want any more dollars.  After what we’d printed to get through World War Two, they didn’t trust it. Now more than ever with the U.S. Dollar’s alternatives gaining prominence, these coins are not just a piece of history, they are evidence.  They are proof of what counts when you need a tank of gas.
