Description Commemorate your visit to Lassen Volcanic National Park with this die-struck medallion created by master artisans. Great as a gift, to celebrate a trip or to just hold as a lasting reminder of your experience in America’s great outdoors, this splash-minted National Park medallion will be a timeless keepsake that you will treasure forever. Located in northeastern California, Lassen Volcanic National Park is one of the few areas in the world where all four types of volcanoes – plug dome, shield, cinder cone and strato — can be found. The park is dotted with boiling mud pots and hissing fumaroles that provide a fascinating window into the region’s geological development. The park is also home to Lassen Peak, the largest plug dome volcano in the world. The medallion’s obverse shows Lassen Peak and the date the park was founded in 1916. The reverse shows text commemorating the centennial of America’s first National Park. Minted in deep relief using a special “splash minting” process, this coin is struck in a brass alloy and given a beautiful lacquered finished. Each coin measures 1 1/2 inch (39mm) in diameter.
