The Official Alaska State Medallions are minted only in sufficient quantity to meet the demand in a given year. The image is Alaskian wildlife, and changes annually. The image used is the winning image of an art contect, open only to Alaska residents, and by state statue cannot be used after the year ends.
All Official Alaska State Medallions has the State Seal on one side. This does not determine the authenticity, since that same seal is used by the Alaska Mint, a private mint, on other products.
Be certain to obtain the proof version. It is the one that has historically been very limited in mintage.
