GPH-Unlisted. Diameter: 21mm; Weight: 3.40 gms. Obverse: Altar against which are resting two garnished shields marked IONAT (Jonathan) and DAVID; above, two arms emerge from the clouds, clasping hands under the radiant Eye of Providence; Reverse: Nude child with billowing drapery inscribes upon trunk of palm tree. Edge: Plain. A delightful friendship-related gold medal with a Biblical tie-in, this piece presents exceptionally vibrant and brilliant surfaces. The GPH (Goppel) reference listed on the holder is incorrect; it references a similarly themed medal, though with some of the design elements swapped, and struck to the weight of a 1/4 Ducat.
