2006-S Gold $5 Commem San Francisco Old Mint Proof (w/Box & COA)
In 2006, a special gold coin was struck to mark a century since the devastating 1906 earthquake and fire in San Francisco. This five dollar denomination piece highlights the remarkable survival of the city's historic mint building, affectionately known as the Granite Lady, which stood strong through the disaster and played a vital role in the subsequent recovery efforts of the community. The front of this proof coin showcases the grand architecture of the Old Mint building, a rendering inspired by a medal design by Sheri J. Winter. On the back, the coin features a classic eagle design, complete with the traditional motto, which was originally used on the historic five dollar Liberty Head Half Eagle coins. Struck at the San Francisco Mint with an 'S' mint mark, this modern commemorative contains 0.2419 troy ounces of gold with a purity of 0.900. A total of 44,174 of these proof coins were produced, making it a fascinating artifact for those exploring the intersection of American history and numismatic art.
