An extremely attractive AU piece and a simply amazing survivor of one of the premier private gold coiners of the 19th century. This distinctive obverse specifies CAROLINA GOLD, with filled A’s lacking their crosslets, the weight 134.G. inscribed over a 5-pointed star, and 21 CARATS below. The reverse identifies the maker and locale as C: BECHTLER AT RUTHERF:. Wonderfully smooth-looking surfaces show only the most trivial of abrasions for the grade,
