Medallion with 24k Gold Alaska Mint Official Medallion Gold Silver Medallion Proof 1 Oz Comes with Velvet box and COA This 1 ounce .999 fine silver proof medallion is enhanced with 24k gold relief. Medallion is sealed in an airtight container and packaged in a handsome box. This medallion features a wolf and raven in front of their totemic images carved on a totem pole. The spectacular totem poles of British Columbia and Alaska, on which appear birds, animals, and unrecognizable creatures, are found nowhere else in the world. To save specimens of this now-abandoned American Indian craft and make them accessible to Alaska visitors, the United States Forest Service in 1938 began placing Tlingit and Haida totem poles in natural settings near Ketchikan, Wrangell, and Sitka.
