Commemorative medallions were first struck for the Iditarod Sled Dog Race in 1989. This is a complete collection of 1 oz gold relief Iditarod medallions from 1989 through 2026. These 38 coins come in a handsome coin chest. Each 1 oz medallion is similar in size to a silver dollar and packaged in an airtite capsule. The Official Logo of the Iditarod Sled Dog Race is on the reverse of most of them. Many of the years are extremely hard to find, at this time we only have 1 set available. 

In 2026 the Iditarod celebrates its 54th Anniversary!  The Last Great Race On Earth is 1049 mile Iditarod sled dog race. Stretching from Anchorage to Nome, this race is one of the most grueling events in the world, most mushers take between 9 and 15 days to finish. Following the historic trail that in 1925 was used by dog teams to bring 300,000 units of life-saving diphtheria serum to an epidemic in Nome. A donation from the sale of each medallion is made to the Iditarod committee to help bring back the race year after year.
