Description

Bald eagles are a common and majestic sight in Alaska. The state is home to the largest population of bald eagles in the United States, with an estimated 30,000 individuals. These iconic birds of prey can be spotted throughout Alaska, soaring high in the sky or perched on tree branches and cliffs. Bald eagles are attracted to Alaska’s abundance of fish, which they catch using their sharp talons and powerful beaks. They also mate and nest in the state’s lush forests and along its rugged coastlines. Observing these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat is an unforgettable experience, and Alaska offers some of the best opportunities in the world to do so.

These medallions are minted in pure copper, golden bronze, 1 oz .999 fine silver, 1 oz single gold relief (24k plating on part of the silver coin) and 1 oz double gold relief (24k gold plating on both sides). The 1 oz medallion is similar in size to a silver dollar. They are packaged in an airtight container and handsome gift box. The reverse features our Land of the Midnight Sun design.

Alaska Mint

My wife Michele and I are the owners and operators of the Alaska Mint. I was 4 years old when my parents moved our family to Alaska from Colorado. They were young and ambitious, my Dad worked as a “roughneck” on oil platforms until they had saved up enough money to start a small jewelry shop. In 1967, Robuck & Sons, our families first jewelry business was born. Since then our family has had several stores around Alaska. In 1990 after testing with a sidewalk vendors cart for a few summers, I opened a location in downtown Anchorage where we could manufacture and sell souvenir coins, natural gold nuggets, and other Alaskan gifts. Originally, we produced the art work and had our medallions manufactured outside of Alaska. Then we started acquiring and assembling the equipment to mint silver and gold medallions right here in Anchorage. We started with one coin design. We now have thousands of dies. All of our medallions are struck in our location on 4th Avenue in downtown Anchorage. Our medallions are detailed reproductions of original sculptures. Many have a limited mintage and are highly collectible. We buy raw gold from placer miners and gold bearing quartz that is mined deep underground. From these natural elements, we fashion beautiful, one-of-a-kind jewelry that is a valuable addition to any collection. While the pieces are rare, they are surprisingly affordable. The items available in our store are either made in our shop, or by one of our longtime jewelers. We are proud of our company history and look forward to share the Alaskan experience through the Alaska Mint. Our two sons, Gunnar and Hunter, are also working with us. They are a great addition to our creative team. Mike and Michele Robuck Owners & Operators of Alaska Mint
