1 troy ounce silver GATA commemorative coin

This 1 troy ounce (31.103 grams) 99.97% silver GATA commemorative coin is minted by the Gold Anti Trust Action Committee (GATA). It is an organization in America that advocates against the manipulation and suppression of the gold price.
 
Formally established in 1999, GATA's mission is to expose, combat, and litigate against the conspiracy to control the price and supply of gold and related financial instruments. The committee originated from essays by Bill Murphy, a financial commentator on the internet, and Chris Powell, a newspaper editor in Connecticut.
 
Murphy's essays reported evidence of collusion among financial institutions to suppress the price of gold. In December 2009, GATA sued the Fed in the U.S. district court to obtain relevant data. In February 2011, the court ruled that most of the Fed's gold data could remain secret, but one had to be made public: the minutes of the April 1997 meeting of the G-10 Committee on Gold and Foreign Exchange. These minutes revealed that G-10 member states and central bank officials secretly discussed coordinating their policies regarding the gold market. GATA has gathered and published dozens of documents demonstrating that Western treasuries and central banks have both openly and covertly worked against a free gold market.
 
The GATA commemorative coin is minted in honor of the 10th anniversary of the GATA organization, founded in 1999. Therefore, the inscription on the coin reads 1999 - 2009.
