Golden Gate Bridge Medallion
SFM0008
Medals/Medallions
Striking souvenir bronze medallion of San Francisco's most famous landmark. Medallion measures approximately 1-1/2 inches in diameter and comes in a plastic case.
Opened in 1937, the 4,200-foot suspension bridge was the longest in the world until 1959. The bridge is designed to sway 27 feet from east to west in a high wind or earthquake. It took four and a half years and $35 million to build. The towers measure 746 feet and were the tallest in the world until 1997 when they were exceeded by a bridge in Denmark. The reverse depicts the City skyline as seen from the Bay.
