Coin Details

Description

This 1976 token cataloged as Jankovsky-975 is a Bicentennial commemorative piece celebrating the two-hundredth anniversary of American independence. The year 1976 generated an enormous volume of commemorative numismatic material, from the official U.S. Mint Bicentennial coins to thousands of privately produced medals, tokens, and souvenirs. The Jankovsky catalog documents California-related tokens and medals, suggesting this piece has a California connection in its production or distribution. The American Bicentennial was the largest coordinated celebration in the nation's history, with every state, city, and community participating in anniversary activities. Bicentennial tokens range from crude local productions to sophisticated private mint issues, with the Jankovsky-cataloged pieces representing documented California varieties.
