Post Your Volcano And Mountain Coins

A fine pair, Dearborn.

Very nice pair, Dearborn.

@All: Thanks for the kind feedback on the Canadian SD!

In 2008, the American Bald Eagle Recovery and National Emblem commemorative coin program was issued by the US Mint - it included a Gold Half Eagle ($5), a Silver Dollar and a Copper-Nickel (CuNi) Clad Half Dollar.

The Silver Dollar features an unnamed mountain at the 4 o'clock position within its obverse design (under the soaring Eagle's wing).

A nice addition, commems.

Next up is the Gold Half Eagle from the 2015 US Marshal's 225th Anniversary commemorative coin program; the program also included a Silver Dollar and a Copper-Nickel (CuNi) Half Dollar.

The obverse of the Half Eagle presents a United States Marshals Service Star in the foreground with a Western landscape that features mountains in the far background. The depiction of the mountains is a bit subtle, but they are there!

very nice Commem.

Here's another coin with a subtle/easy-to-overlook mountain included in its design - the US Marine Corps' 230th Anniversary Silver Dollar.

The obverse of the coin depicts the famous US flag raising scene atop Mount ­Suribachi on Iwo Jima as captured by Associated Press photographer Joe Rosenthal on February 23, 1945. Sculptor-Engraver Norman E. Nesmith of the US Mint created the design based on the Rosenthal photograph.

Mount­ Suribachi (a volcanic cone) has an elevation of 554 feet, and is located at the southwest end of the island of Iwo Jima..
