The process of minting a Coin Watch began with the Royal Canadian Mint striking medals from pure .999 silver blanks, meticulously crafted to ensure absolute perfection. To preserve their exquisite craftsmanship and luster, each medal was coated with a clear sealing lacquer at the Mint, ensuring they would retain their beauty for generations.
These finely minted medals were then transformed into the dials of the watches. To further enhance their appearance, a two-tone plating process was applied by expert craftsmen in Alaska. The portrait of Elvis was plated in 24-karat gold, creating a breathtaking contrast against the brilliant silver background. This technique resulted in a stunning, timeless effect, elevating the watches far beyond traditional paper or plastic dials.
The attention to detail achieved in these medals is unparalleled and will never be replicated. Every aspect of the Eagle pattern on Elvis’s jacket was painstakingly reproduced by the finest engravers at the Royal Canadian Mint, capturing the essence of Elvis with exceptional accuracy and artistry.
This design was limited to a mintage of only 100 pieces worldwide, making it exceedingly rare. From this small number of watch dials, men’s, ladies’, and pocket watches were produced, each one a testament to fine craftsmanship.
The Pocket Coin Watches were elegantly fastened by a chain and housed in a leather pouch, adding to their timeless appeal.
These Pocket Coin Watches were never offered for sale to the general public, except for a brief period through a special limited offer.
This collection of Coin Watches is truly the finest Elvis Timepieces ever crafted and will be a treasured addition to any Elvis collection.
