History

The first commemorative coin issued by the United States Mint was the 1848 Quarter Eagle with a CAL strike. The few coins issued with that CAL designation identified the first production of US gold coins with gold discovered during the California Gold Rush. Commemorative coins were produced by the US Mint from 1848 to 1954. By the 1930s, Americans began to lose interest in the quality and variety of American commemorative gold coins. Commemorative coining resumed in 1982, with the first commemorative gold coins of the modern era released in 1986.
