A favorite design in coins is in the United States fifty-cent piece: The 1925 California Diamond Jubilee Half Dollar.
It is the American Prospector panning for gold.
I like it so much that I am on a tubular journey to collect rounds with this design.
So it is not a surprise that I like, and therefore buy, the Prospectors Gold & Gem round.
The 2021 Gold PG&G Round
By Prospectors Gold & Gems in Colorado, USA.
The reverse depicts a head of a bald eagle facing right. Made form .999+ fine gold of 24k, available only in 1/10 ounce rounds.
The obverse is adopted from local sculptor Jo Mora's design of the 1925 California commemorative coin... the American Prospector facing left.

Here's a little bit history of California and the production of the beautiful 1925 California Diamond Jubilee Commemorative coin.
Source of above information.The discovery of gold in California in 1848 focused attention on that western territory as few other events ever could. The siren call of “riches for the taking” spread rapidly around the world. Tens of thousands caught “gold fever,” braving the rigors of voyages “around the Horn,” treks across Panama’s deadly jungles or the time-consuming overland journey through hostile Indian territory. So many came in search of the yellow metal that by 1850, the “Forty-Niners” and those who followed them west numbered over 100,000 strong, a far cry from the fewer than 500 American traders and settlers who were in California just several years earlier. With the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848, the Mexican War came to an end. Along with Texas and New Mexico, this newly-rich territory of California was ceded to the United States.
The California coin became part of the Act of February 24, 1925. A noted local sculptor Jo Mora was asked to design a coin that would capture the spirit of the state’s diamond jubilee.
Fashioning both the obverse and reverse of the coin, Mora sought to embody the essence of California during the 1850s. He employed two symbolic motifs: a “Gold Rush” prospector and a grizzly bear. Initially, James Earle Fraser (designer of the Buffalo nickel). Mora added an interesting touch to the design of the California half: the fields were left unpolished, appearing as boldly textured on the finished coin.
Jo Mora’s simple, two-figure design captured the spirit of 1850s California in a direct manner that few other commemorative issues can rival. As a singularly artistic work and a necessary issue for collectors of the commemorative series, the California Diamond Jubilee half dollar will remain as coveted by numismatists of the future as it is by those of today.

And that's why I enjoy a bit of Economic History with the coins. 1/10 coins are quite small, using the Scope Sis?
I wonder how different it would be if California didn't cede from Mexico, maybe I'd be speaking more Spanish or see more Mexican coinage appear in Canada and I wouldn't need to try and make up my lack of Mexistack.
Gracias my Sister, with love 🤗 🌺 💖

A scope? Nope, hahaha, 1/10 ounce is visible by the naked eye, hehehe.
A bought a digital microscope and @monsterjamgold just showed me the app to use it. I took a photo of the coin, and we made a banner, and then I updated this post with the banner. The photo on the banner is the photo I took using the digital microscope. If you go to @monsterjamgold's post, he is using the scope at max, This is using it at minimum capacity.
Maybe I'll use the scope sometime!
Yeah, a select silver coins of Mexico are pretty!
Hugs and kisses, sis @kerrislravenhill 🥰🌺🤙!

The design of this California half dollar gold coin is distinct. A rarity. I see a lot of effort was put into capturing the essence of California then on the coin. Glad to have learned something new today. Thanks for sharing. ☺️

ENGAGEtokens.This one has a lot of historical value. And the fact that a gold miner is depicted on a gold coin makes it even better. Even now in less developed areas the harsh conditions of people seeking gold are as harsh as ever in some cases, especially with the use of mercury.
Indeed, my friend, @rarej!
The design is very iconic of California.
It is unfortunate... we hear so much of the harsh conditions in some areas.
Here in the US, it is frowned upon, and some manufacturers are forced to close, not for deliberately contributing to the harsh conditions, but fr buying gold from them.

The conditions are harsh, but they are some of the richest people around. It's a weird example of "high risk, high reward".
Thanks. @pixresteemer!
I didn't even realize that California has its own rounds lol. I know about the gold rush and it makes sense but I generally don't see many people talk about it.
