Description
This 2020 silver medal features Lake Tahoe imagery and a Carson City Mint connection. Lake Tahoe, straddling the California-Nevada border, is one of the most spectacular natural features of the American West, and its proximity to the Carson City Mint creates a natural thematic link. The crystal-clear alpine lake, at an elevation of 6,225 feet in the Sierra Nevada, has been a destination for visitors since the Comstock Lode mining era. The medallic commemorative tradition in America accelerated during the centennial celebrations of the late nineteenth century, with the 1876 Centennial Exposition generating an unprecedented number of medallic issues. This silver medal combines the natural beauty of Lake Tahoe with the numismatic heritage of the Carson City Mint, appealing to collectors interested in both Nevada history and precious metal commemoratives.
