R16PS01391 Cement Bucket Medallion

1.1 Background

Approximately one million individuals visit Hoover Dam annually. Frequently, visitors seek to purchase commemorative items to remind them of their visit. As the result of plant modernization, high-grade industrial quality copper became excess to the operational needs of Hoover Dam’s Powerplant. This excess plant copper will be used in the manufacturing of commemorative medallions for visitors which will allow visitors to take home a piece of Hoover Dam as part of their visit.

Eight previous medallions have been produced: the Generator Medallion, Winged Figures Medallion, High Scaler Medallion, Intake Tower Medallion, Arizona Spillway Medallion, Penstock Medallion, Cableway Structure, and the 75th Anniversary Medallion.

The eight previous medallions presented a three dimensions relief on the main side of the coin, with the reverse portraying Hoover Dam from the transformer deck.

Three variations of medallions were produced. They are:

• 100% copper stamped medallions

• 100% copper Proof stamped medallions

• Plated copper medallions

Coins were placed in contractor supplied packaging and shipped.
