This Sesquicentennial Coin was designed by Patrick Cook of Graeagle for the 150th anniversary of Plumas County in 2004. Privately minted for us by the Marshall Mint & Museum in Virginia City, NV., the front of this double-sided coin features a sun rising over the natural beauty of the Sierra Nevada, while the obverse of the coin has symbols representing Plumas County: A pick and shovel represents gold mining, a U.S. flag designates our part in the Union, and a golden feather represents our County name, "Plumas, " which is Spanish for feather. Each coin comes sealed in a protective plastic casing which completely seals the coin and a black storage box bearing the Plumas County seal. This coin makes a great souvenir of your time spent in the golden richness of Plumas County and also makes a great gift! Comes with Certificate of Authenticity.
