The Mackay School of Sciences and Engineering at the University of Nevada, Reno is pleased to offer an exceptional commemorative medallion in celebration of our 100th anniversary. The Mackay Commemorative one troy-ounce medallion is .999 fine silver, mined from the Coeur Rochester mine in Pershing County, Nevada. This medallion was struck on Coin Press Number One at the former United States Branch Mint in Carson City, Nevada and carries the distinctive “CC” mark on the front.

The Mackay School of Mines was dedicated on June 10, 1908 and for 100 years has earned an international reputation as a leader in the mineral and earth sciences.

The medallion is available for $50 from the Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology. To see their opening hours, or to order online, go to www.nbmg.unr.edu

The Mackay School is grateful to Coeur d'Alene Mines, Inc. for their generous donation of silver for the production of this medallion.
