The object in the museum catalogue

This flyer advertises a protest against the sale of the Krugerrand, a South African gold coin. The flyer has browned with age and has a few liquid stains along the left edge. The title reads: [INCAR Says: SAME ENEMY, SAME FIGHT / STOP THE SALE OF THE KRUGERRAND]. There are several paragraphs of text describing effects of the Krugerrand. Protest information is given at the bottom of the page and reads [Assemble: 41 E. 42 ST, (between 5th & Madison) / at 12 Noon Saturday Dec. 10, 1977 / For more info: call 989-5499]. The other side repeats the same information in Spanish.
