No denomination? It can't refer to the Klondike (Yukon) gold rush as that didn't start until 1896-97.

Just found reference to a minor gold rush in Wyoming in 1867. So I assume there would have been bears in that area around that time?

Alaska never issued it's own official coinage. From the description your item sounds like a souvenir medal from Alaska.

If you can, post a pic, and we might get a better idea of what it is.
