| 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. |
