Comment

Should be part of a 53 medal set from the National Commemorative Society. In the Spring of 1964, the NCS introduced a new concept to coin collectors - a monthly set of commemorative coin-medals honoring subjects selected by the membership at large. Each issue was designed and sculptured by a distinguished artist and limited in edition to one sterling silver proof for each member. Until the 51st issue, three platinum proofs of each coin-medal were struck for presentation and exhibition.
