Sportfishing in Alaska is an angler’s paradise. The state’s pristine rivers, lakes, and coastal waters are teeming with salmon, trout, halibut, and other prized fish species, attracting fishing enthusiasts from all over the world. Alaska’s sportfishing opportunities range from fly fishing in remote wilderness rivers to deep-sea fishing in the open ocean. Fishing charters and guides are widely available, providing visitors with access to some of the best fishing spots and equipment. Alaska’s fishing season varies depending on the species and location, with peak seasons typically occurring from May to September. Sportfishing in Alaska not only offers the chance to catch trophy fish but also the opportunity to connect with nature and experience the state’s wild beauty firsthand.

This medallion was one of our very first Alaskan designs, it depicts a classic summertime scene here in Alaska. A fisherman successfully casting his fly on target. It’s been such an awesome design that we cut a new die with the current date and mint it each year. These medallions are available in golden bronze, 1 oz .999 fine silver, 1 oz single gold relief (24k plating on front of the silver coin) and 1 oz double gold relief (24k gold plating on both sides). The 1 oz medallion is similar in size to a silver dollar. We also mint a 2 oz. “Alaska Size” version of this medallion that is a full 2 inches in diameter, it is available in both silver and double gold relief (the 2 oz. are not dated). They are packaged in an airtight container and handsome gift box. The reverse features our popular “Land of the Midnight Sun” design.
