Product Details

Struck in a full half ounce of pure silver, each of these limited commemoratives is overlaid with authentic California Gold Rush treasure recovered from the legendary wreck of the S.S. Central America.

The gold used comes directly from Monetary Ingot #4051, produced by famed Gold Rush assayers Justh & Hunter — a pedigree that needs no introduction to serious collectors.

Obverse – A Tribute to the World’s Most Valuable Coin The design features a meticulous rendition of the famed 1849 Liberty Head Double Eagle — the very first $20 gold coin ever struck by the United States. Only two originals were minted in December 1849 and only one is known to exist today and it is permanently safeguarded at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. It is widely recognized as the most valuable coin in existence. With gold pouring in from California’s hills, streams, and mines, these “Type I” Double Eagles (1850–1866) reshaped America’s economy — and today stand among the most collected and valuable coins in the U.S. series. In fact, the book 100 Greatest U.S. Coins includes seven different Type I dates — more than any other coin type ever produced.

Reverse – The Ship of Gold & a National Legacy The reverse pays tribute to the California Gold Rush and the S.S. Central America, the fabled steamship that carried tons of freshly minted Gold Rush treasure before its loss in 1857. This design boldly commemorates: ·      The rush for fortune ·      The heroic era of American expansion ·      The “Greatest Treasure Ever Found” Certified Gold Rush Treasure You Can Hold • Half ounce pure silver with overlay of Shipwreck Gold
