Comments

In 1989, the Official Alaska State Medallion project was adopted into law. Each year a design contest between Alaskan residents is used to create the obverse for that year. The Seal of the State of Alaska is always used on the reverse. The medallions are struck from bullion gold and silver in a variety of sizes. Mintage includes both Gold and Silver 1 oz Proofs and mintage is only listed for proofs.
