Alaska Gold Used for 2025 Token Production
Alaska Rare Coins in Fairbanks has created a new gold token made entirely from metal mined by Quasar Gold Corp.
The metal for the token comes from Quasar Gold Corp.'s Shirley Bar Mine in the Hot Springs Mining District, specifically from Rhode Island Creek.
- The claims are located on the upper reaches of Rhode Island Creek, Gold Run, and Glenn Creek.
- The hillsides and ridges between these creeks are also part of the claims.
General Refining Corp. assayed the gold at .7868 fine, with 20% silver content and the balance unknown.
The obverse of the gold token features an ore cart as the central design device, with the inscription "QUASAR GOLD CORP."
According to Dick Hanscom, editor of the Alaskan Token Collector & Polar Numismatist newsletter, the token is a unique representation of Alaska's gold mining heritage.
