2025 1/10-oz Gold Engelhard Prospector Proof-Like Round in Assayer

The American Prospector Makes Its Triumphant Return

Produced between 1982 and 1987, the Engelhard Mint's Silver & Gold Prospector Rounds were among the very first bullion rounds made available to collectors and quickly became a market leader. These rounds were known for their purity and historical significance. The design of a grizzled prospector was similar to the famous 1925 California Diamond Jubilee Commemorative Silver Half Dollar that likewise depicted a 49er panning for gold. The popular series came to an end, so coin insiders say, due to the release of the United States Mint's Silver & Gold Eagle program that debuted in 1986. Now the Engelhard Prospector returns thanks to Switzerland's Produits Artistiques Métaux Précieux, better known as PAMP Suisse, one of the world's most trusted refiners and fabricators of precious metals.

The First-Ever Modern Reproduction Of The Original Prospector Round

Featuring the first-ever modern reproduction of the original Prospector Round from 1982, this commemorative was struck by PAMP in a tenth ounce of 99.99% pure gold. Besides the famous and iconic image of the prospector panning for gold, it includes inscriptions that read "THE AMERICAN PROSPECTOR," "U.S.A." AND 2025. The round's reverse design features the Engelhard name along with its weight and gold purity. Engelhard, a respected precious metals refiner, operated from 1902 to 2006, producing high-quality gold bars and rounds. The company ceased operations in 2006 after being acquired by BASF, a German-based chemical company, ending the production of Engelhard's bullion products.
