2010 Official Alaska State medallion
This medallion, made by the Alaska Mint in Anchorage, Alaska, is sanctioned by the Alaska State legislature under State Statute: 44.09.017. A design contest is held each year, open to all Alaska residents and judged by the Alaska Council of the Arts. The 2010 medallion was designed by Jackie Cote Suter, of Anchorage. As mandated by law, the winning design can be used only for the Official State Medallion. Also by law the medallion must be made of .999 Alaska Silver, must have a serial number on the rim edge, and total mintage must be limited to demand only for one year, after which the die will be destroyed. Because of the medallion's beautiful designs and limited edition minting, coin and precious metals collectors seek both current and back issue Alaska medallions. Only once in 16 years of issue has an official state medallion mintage been above 10,000 in number and several yearly mintage numbers have been under 5,000 units. This limited mintage has made these items very desirable for collectors.
Available in two styles:
1 oz Silver
1 oz Silver w/ Gold Relief
