    This [ 2 Oz. Nevada Ag-State with a Gold Nugget] has Highly-Detailed Relief Scenes on Both-Sides of coin. The Obverse has "THE GREAT SEAL OF THE STATE OF NEVADA' and, within the Inner-ring, "STARS" and 'ALL FOR OUR COUNTRY'!

    For the Inset,In Sharp Relief, is a Scene Depicting a working silver mine, with a Workhorse-Train in a viaduct, Mine-Entrance with a art-rail, with a Cart Emptying Raw Silver into the horse-drawn wagon. With the Sun's-Rays above the mountains in the background. On the rim of the coin, with the smooth-edge, the number '50', and it 1 7/8" in diameter. On the Reverse is the "STATE OF NEVADA' in which, is depicting a Cowboy with his Lasso at the ready, following a Cow and also a Genuine' "GOLD-NUGGET" :eek:!!! [This Chunk of Pure-Silver is approx- 2mm x 2.5mm in size,and appears to be approx- 1mm Thick].
    At the Top of the State' is '1864 EO', And '1988MR...which, I'm hopin a History Buff could help me figure out this meaning. They even Threw-In a couple "Horse-Shoes" for good measure. I wanted to share this with Everybody here at Cointalk! Because to me, it's a Exceptional and most interesting piece! You Likely, won't ever see another coin Like this one. I came across this at one of the Pawn-Shops in Nevada, during my vacation. I hope you enjoy these Photo(s) Also./ :high5: Chasindreams'

    Not sure about the EO but Nevada was admitted as the 36 state then.
