SCOTGOLD GOLD ROUND TO BE PRESENTED TO THE HUNTERIAN,
GLASGOW
One of the first gold rounds produced from commercially mined
Scottish gold is to be presented to Professor David Gaimster,
Director of The Hunterian, University of Glasgow, by Graham
Donaldson, a major shareholder in Scotgold, which produced the gold
from its mine near Tyndrum. The presentation will take place on
Wednesday 22 February, at 11.30am, in The Hunterian's new
Collections Study Centre at Kelvin Hall, Glasgow.
Mr Donaldson and his wife Christine sponsored the purchase of
Scottish Gold Round Number 11 by The Hunterian, after the first 10
rounds were successfully sold at an auction held in November 2016
in Edinburgh.
The gold round will be a wonderful addition to The Hunterian
collection, which includes one of the world's great numismatic
collections.
Richard Gray, CEO of Scotgold commented:
"We are delighted that Graham and Christine have generously
decided to mark the occasion of Scotland's first commercially mined
gold by sponsoring this contribution to The Hunterian's impressive
collection. We believe that gold mining has the potential to be a
significant industrial sector and generator of employment in
Scotland and this unique piece marks a significant milestone on
this journey."
Professor David Gaimster, Director of The Hunterian said:
"We are delighted with the generous donation of this item of
such historical interest and are pleased to add it to our
outstanding collection of Scottish gold coins and medals."
Each of the gold rounds (there were 12 produced) is stamped with
the Scottish Gold Mark of the stag's head and bearing a unique
serial number corresponding to a chain of custody system certified
by the Edinburgh Assay Office.
The Gold Rounds were minted by Baird & Co Bullion
Merchants.
