Obverse lettering CITY OF ANCHORAGE NOV. 23, 1920
Reverse description The reverse depicts an open book in the center of the field, its two pages rendered as an allegory of progress: the left page dated 1920 shows a log cabin, mountains, and a steam locomotive, while the right page dated 1970 shows modern buildings, a jet aircraft, and a train, symbolizing Anchorage's development over fifty years. The legend GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY arcs along the upper border and "PAGES OF PROGRESS" along the lower, with a star at each side. A plain inner ring separates the central design from the border lettering.
Reverse script Latin
