1974 World Golf Hall of Fame Commemorative Medal Collection Set
Here is a special 1974 medal collection issued by The Hamilton Mint, titled The World Golf Hall of Fame Medal Collection. The set commemorates the first annual enshrinement of the World Golf Hall of Fame in Pinehurst, North Carolina. The collection features proof-finish silver-tone medallions encased in clear circular capsules, mounted within a red faux-leather presentation plaque framed in silver-tone metal, housed inside a folding presentation folio case.
The set includes a larger central medallion depicting the Hall of Fame building facade with the inscription A FITTING SHRINE FOR THE GREATS OF GOLF on the obverse, and the institution logo on the reverse. Surrounding this are portrait medallions depicting the first class of 13 inducted golfers, including Jack Nicklaus, Walter Hagen, Ben Hogan, Sam Snead, Arnold Palmer, Bobby Jones, Babe Zaharias, Gary Player, Harry Vardon, Byron Nelson, Francis Ouimet, Gene Sarazen, and Patty Berg. The reverse of each player medallion features an embossed figure of a golfer alongside biographical career highlights and the text WORLD GOLF HALL OF FAME. The front of the presentation folio is printed with the globe and dimpled golf ball emblem, The World Golf Hall of Fame Medal Collection, and THE HAMILTON MINT.
