Owner's Description

This medal actually was the first product of the Denver Mint, struck in 1905 to test new machinery and, some believe, new dies for a $20 gold piece. Piece is about the size of a double eagle and was issued as a souvenir at official opening ceremonies of the Mint in early 1906. Despite the statement that "thousands were struck," the medal was unobtainable at the Mint following the ceremonies and was "decidedly scarce" in Denver.
