1963 Virginia City, MT, Souvenir Centennial Dollar Token

In 1863, an encounter with the local Crow people turned a group of Yellowstone-bound prospectors away from their destination. By chance, they stumbled upon gold anyway, and the resulting mining site became Virginia City. This token, celebrating Virginia City's 100th anniversary, features a detailed engraving of a quintessential prospector with a rattlesnake and a hangman's noose, an Old West main street to his left and a graveyard to his right. A great trinket for any Western affectionado!
