Coin Details

Description

This undated gilt copper token, cataloged as TC-162802, depicts Mount Hood and represents a souvenir or commemorative piece celebrating the iconic Oregon landmark. Mount Hood, at 11,250 feet, is the highest peak in Oregon and one of the most recognizable landmarks in the Pacific Northwest. The gilt copper composition — copper with a gold wash — gives the token an attractive golden appearance while remaining inexpensive to produce. Souvenir tokens depicting famous American landmarks have been produced since the nineteenth century, serving as affordable mementos for tourists and collectors. Mount Hood has been a symbol of Oregon since the earliest days of European exploration of the region, and its image appears on countless commemorative and souvenir items. This token captures the mountain's distinctive snow-capped peak in miniature metallic form.
