Mt. McKinley Bench Mark

Mt. McKinley Bench Mark

Standing at 20,320 feet, Mount McKinley's ice-clad peak is the highest point in North America.

This mammoth mountain, also known as "Denali," offers a serious challenge to even the most skilled and experienced climbers. Requiring limitless patience and the highest levels of physical and mental toughness, the mountain's steep slopes yield only to the most dedicated and prepared mountaineers.

This impressive U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Bench Mark replica pays tribute to the climbers who have tested their own limits along the outer edges of one of the world's largest mountains. The obverse replicates the design and detail of the official USGS Benchmark found on Mount McKinley's peak. The reverse contains a space for engraving.

Minted in solid bronze in the style of actual USGS bench marks (not the lesser-quality, simulated bench marks others make from lead and tin), this three-inch medallion comes in its own drawstring velour pouch accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
