The US Commemorative Dollar Uncirculated 1991-P Mt. Rushmore coin commemorates one of America's most iconic national monuments, Mount Rushmore. Carved into the granite face of Mount Rushmore in the Black Hills of South Dakota, this monumental sculpture depicts the faces of four US presidents: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln. The coin celebrates the historical and cultural significance of Mount Rushmore as a symbol of American democracy, freedom, and national identity.
Mount Rushmore National Memorial was conceived by sculptor Gutzon Borglum in the 1920s as a tribute to America's founding fathers and their contributions to the nation. Construction of the monument began in 1927 and continued for 14 years, with the faces of the presidents gradually taking shape through the meticulous process of drilling, blasting, and sculpting the granite rock face.
The design of the 1991-P Mt. Rushmore commemorative dollar coin features a depiction of the Mount Rushmore monument on the obverse side. The reverse side of the coin typically includes patriotic imagery or symbols representing the United States.
The coins were minted at the Philadelphia Mint, one of the facilities operated by the United States Mint. Established in 1792, the Philadelphia Mint is the oldest continuously operating mint in the United States and has produced countless coins throughout American history.
The mintage of the 1991-P Mt. Rushmore commemorative dollar coin was determined by demand from collectors and other factors. Commemorative coins are typically issued in limited quantities to commemorate significant events, anniversaries, or landmarks, making them highly sought after by numismatists and collectors.
The denomination of the coin is typically one dollar, reflecting its face value in US currency. However, commemorative coins often have a higher intrinsic and collector value due to their limited mintage and historical significance.
In terms of condition, the 1991-P Mt. Rushmore commemorative dollar coin is described as Uncirculated, indicating that it has never been used in commerce and retains its original mint luster. Uncirculated coins may exhibit minor imperfections from the minting process but are generally free from significant wear.
Mount Rushmore is one of the most recognizable landmarks in the United States and attracts millions of visitors each year. The monument serves as a symbol of American democracy, freedom, and the enduring legacy of the nation's leaders.
