Description Commemorate your visit to Point Reyes National Seashore 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 Seashore medallion will be a timeless keepsake that you will treasure forever. Located along the foggy coast of Northern California, Point Reyes National Seashore is home to more than 1,000 species of plants and animals. Home to the coastal Miwok people, the popular destination is known for its dramatic coastal panoramas as well as the abundant opportunities to observe the migration patterns of the Grey Whale. The medallion’s obverse shows the majestic Point Reyes lighthouse, built in 1870. The reverse shows a massive elephant seal, one of the many marine mammals that frequent the shore around the nutrient-rich waters off of Point Reyes. 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 (38.1mm) in diameter.
