A 1966 Gold Sovereign of Elizabeth II, seemingly awarded as part of the "Make a Date with Coke" contest, housed in custom felt-lined box with detailed card in French only from Coca-Cola, which would seem to suggest a Quebec-targeted campaign. Interestingly, card references the value of a Sovereign at "approximately $12.", which would indicate date of the contest to be somewhat contemporary with the coin at late 1960's/earliest 1970's. An interesting numismatic prize item, worthy of some research.
