Humpback Whale Medallion Bronze

Humpback whales, found in the Alaskan waters, are magnificent marine mammals that can reach up to 16 meters in length and weigh a massive 36,000 kilograms. These whales migrate from their winter breeding grounds in Hawaii and Mexico to Alaska's coastal waters, known for their abundance of nutrient-rich food such as krill, herring, and other small fish. Along with their impressive acrobatic displays, humpback whales also face threats from human activities like fishing gear entanglement, ship strikes, and noise pollution. The Humpback Whale Medallion Bronze was crafted by Alaskan artist Christy Matthews and is available in pure copper, golden bronze, and 1 oz .999 fine silver. It is also available in 1 oz single gold relief (with 24k plating on the front of the silver coin) and 1 oz double gold relief (with 24k gold plating on both sides), making it similar in size to a silver dollar.
