“There’s Gold in Them Thar Hills!”

 

By all accounts no real person actually ever uttered the phrase above—but they certainly could have during the California Gold Rush, which celebrates its 175th anniversary this year! That’s right, the California Gold Rush, which started with a discovery at Sutter’s Mill on January 24, 1848, turns 175 years old in 2023. Sandwiched in between the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 and the Civil War in 1861, the California Gold Rush played a significant role in American history, spurring as it did hundreds of thousands to rush West in search of riches.

 

Symbolic Images Of The California Gold Rush

 

Released on behalf of Cameroon, this beautiful 2,000 Francs legal-tender coin was struck in a one-ounce of highly pure 99.9% fine silver and shows a pile of gold nuggets and a shovel & pickaxe—all symbolic of the rugged nature of the 49ers who scoured the hills of California’s Sierra Nevada Mountain Range—along with the year gold was discovered in California that kicked off the Gold Rush, “1848.” It also comes with a unique antique finish that adds depth and detail to the design and gives it a weathered “wild west” flavor. Antique finishes like this are typically applied by hand, meaning that no two coins in the release are exactly alike! Plus, you’ll also receive a 5-milliliter vial of gold flakes secured in a burlap bag.
