| Aanvullende informatie |
Gardiner's Island — a roughly 3,300-acre private island at the eastern tip of Long Island — has been continuously owned by the Gardiner family since 1639, making it one of the oldest private land grants in North America still held by the original family. In 1965, a pattern trial proof in sterling was struck, almost certainly connected to the island's long-running identity as a kind of private domain operating outside conventional civic structures. No U.S. territory it is not; the island exists in a peculiar legal limbo that has historically encouraged such private issue experiments.
Documented mintage for this piece is effectively unknown, and authentication hinges heavily on provenance chain.
