Celebrate The 90th Year Of Anchorage’s Famous Winter Carnival!

The 2025 design features the elusive white raven and black raven living in harmony.

The designer, Richard Rearick, said the famous white raven that was spotted throughout Anchorage over the last year or so inspired the design.

“I think with the white raven … people saw the beauty in it because it was different. And I kind of wish that in our society, people would look at the difference and find the beauty in the differences,” Rearick said. “And I think with Anchorage, we are a very diverse city. There are a lot of different cultures here, and Fur Rondy celebrates those cultures, but it celebrates us as a single culture too.”

The new design is selected during a contest and tends to capture the spirit of Alaska. 2025 will be the 90-year anniversary of the festival.

Each year we mint the Official Fur Rondy Collector Button design into our medallions. Since 1986 we have minted the Official Anchorage Fur Rondy design in golden bronze, silver, and pure gold medallions. The silver and gold relief medallions are limited to a maximum mintage of only 2500 combined. Only in Anchorage, Alaska can competitors square off in outhouse races, create massive and complex snow sculptures, and dash to keep clear of reindeer on 4th ave. These are just a few of the fun events to compete in during the Fur Rendezvous festival that has been going on during the month of February since 1935.

This set features one each of the proof 1oz fine silver and golden bronze medallions. They are similar in size to a silver dollar and come packaged in an airtight container and handsome gift box. The reverse features our Land of the Midnight Sun design.
