To achieve their striking beauty, coin blanks are fed into presses fitted with highly polished dies. Then, each coin is struck at least twice to ensure fine detail. The result is a frosted image that appears on a mirrored background.
Each coin is produced by the San Francisco Mint, bears the "S" mint mark, and is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.
