Item Description
Alaska Earthquake - March 27 1964.
39mm. Matte and Part-Polished medallions - obverse and reverses.
The antique bronze medallion that I possess, appears to have a fine and even horizontal striation pattern across both sides whilst the bright brass version has both polished and matte areas, on the obverse and similar areas on the reverse, that enhance the designs. The mass of both items appears to be a little over 18 grams each and, with a thickness of 2mm., they are quite substantial and well struck pieces. The dies appears to be almost identical in other respects and show a representation of the tsunami waves with a map of Alaska above being ripped asunder, plus the wording ALASKA - EARTHQUAKE - MARCH 27, 1964 in three lines on the obverse. The Richter seismic read-out recording is from the time that activity was first detected at 5.30p.m. until it peaked at 5.36p.m., and magnitude of the catastrophe is recorded on the reverse in two lines RICHTER - 8.4 .
Note: Since this description was published, the magnitude has been revised to 9.2
(The highest magnitude earthquake in our time - 9.5 - was recorded in Chile on 22nd. May 1960 - but this one was an extremely close second!)
