Jailhouse Rock Pocket Coinwatch
The "Jailhouse" motif was chosen to be minted into a Pocket Coinwatch because of the huge popularity of the design in the Coin Collection from the previous decade. This stunning medal depicts Elvis during his movie era. Elvis was one of the biggest box office draws of his time and a real money maker. All of his movies generated huge profits both at the box office and latter on through video and DVD releases

These medals were minted in the highest quality possible to ensure that they were absolutely flawless. A clear sealing lacquer was then applied at the Mint to maintain their craftsmanship and beauty for an eternity.
The detail and accuracy attained by this series of medals is second to none and will never again be duplicated. Each minute detail has been painstakingly reproduced by the finest engravers at the Royal Canadian Mint.
To enhance the image, a two-toned process was subsequently applied by craftsmen in Alaska. The portrait of Elvis was plated in 24 k gold leaving the background a shinny silver. The result of this process is absolutely stunning, gone forever are the days of the paper or plastic dial.
The striking for this design was limited to only 100 pieces world wide. From this limited mintage of medals, men's, ladies and pocket watches were produced.
This Pocket Coinwatch was never made available for sale except for a brief time through a special limited offer.
This collection of Pocket Coinwatches are truly the finest Elvis Timepieces ever crafted and will become a prized part of your Elvis collection.
