Anyone have a picture of the US Saudi gold pound?

or 4 pound? Struck in US for Saudi oil purchases in the '50's or '60's?

Used to see em all the time and not for a long while.

Here's a picture of the one pound. I see them available once in a while, but haven't gotten one yet.

I think they might have been issued in 1947. There was one for sale at the Baltimore show in March in a PCGS MS64 holder, I think, and the ask price was approximately $2,000. Again, I might be wrong about the grade and cost but I think I am recalling it clearly.

The 1 Pound disks were struck in 1947 and the 4 Pounds in 1945-46. That price wouldn't surprise me, which is most of the reason I don't have one yet...
