The Golden Gate Bridge is an iconic suspension bridge that spans the Golden Gate Strait, connecting San Francisco to Marin County in California, United States. The bridge is one of the most recognisable landmarks in the United States and is considered one of the engineering wonders of the modern world.
The Golden Gate Bridge was completed in 1937 after four years of construction, and it stands at a height of 746 feet (227 meters) and stretches 1.7 miles (2.7 kilometres) across the strait. The bridge's distinctive orange colour was chosen to provide high visibility in the thick fog that often blankets the area. The bridge also offers several viewing areas that provide panoramic views of San Francisco Bay, the city skyline, and the surrounding natural beauty.
In addition to its stunning beauty and engineering, the Golden Gate Bridge has played a significant role in San Francisco's history and culture. It is a symbol of hope and resilience, having survived earthquakes, high winds, and even a plane crash in 1968. Today, it remains one of the most visited tourist attractions in the United States, drawing millions of visitors each year.
This 24 carat gold-plated coin is presented in exquisite full colour detail with quality craftsmanship on an oversize 50mm coin that captures the essence of the location.
The legal tender coin features the effigy of King Charles III on the obverse making it a true collectors item and a must-have for anyone who loves the United States and its rich cultural heritage.
