The medallion’s obverse displays a bird’s-eye view of the mysterious lake and the date the park was established, in 1902. The reverse shows a park native, the chipmunk. Minted in deep relief using a special “splash minting” process, this coin is struck in a brass alloy and given a beautiful lacquered finished.
Each coin measures 1 1/2 inch (38.1mm) in diameter.
