Reverse description The reverse presents a richly detailed high-relief scene commemorating the Alaska Gold Rush of 1899, set along the shores of Nome, Alaska. A prospector in period attire stands prominently to the left of centre, with sled dogs and mining equipment depicted in the lower field. A large steam-powered vessel is rendered in fine detail in the background, evoking the maritime traffic that characterised the Nome gold rush era. A second figure engaged in mining activity appears to the right. A circular recessed capsule set into the centre of the field contains an authentic 24-karat gold nugget, and the legend ALASKA GOLD RUSH 1899 curves along the upper rim in bold lettering.
