1918-A small (1” diameter) gold piece made by Juvenia. Engraved on the reverse is: E. Kuehl, from “The Yak,” Leadville, Colo. Twenty years faithful service 1898-1918. The Juvenia company was founded in 1860 in La Chaux-de-Fonds by J. Didisheim-Goldschmidt. The company still exists today. The Yak surely refers to the Yak Tunnel in the Leadville mining district, built between 1895 and 1923 to help drain the area on the south side of the district. It is 3.5 miles in length with the outlet in California Gulch, which is east of Leadville. HKA#61461
