Fort Knox Commemorative Gold Coin Tribute

Fort Knox is a military post that encompasses 109,000 acres across 3 Kentucky counties. Its name, however, has become synonymous with its most famous landmark: the U.S. Gold Depository. Opened in 1937, the fortress-like depository sits behind miles of razor-wire fencing and is surrounded by thousands of highly trained soldiers. Deep below the fortification lies the gold vault. Constructed of massive amounts of granite, concrete and steel, the main vault is secured by a 22-ton blast-proof door to which no single person know the combination. It is made to be impenetrable because it houses nearly 5,040 tons of gold bullion - the very building blocks of our entire economy.

In celebration of our nation's impenetrable gold vault, American Mint has created an exclusive masterpiece: the Fort Knox Gold Coin Tribute. This solid 14k gold coin is minted to the highest quality "Proof ” standard and features a highly detailed engraving of the U.S. Gold Depository at Fort Knox on the obverse. Encased in our KeepSafe™ archival shell, this exquisite gold coin tribute includes an informative history of Fort Knox and is strictly limited to only 9,999 complete collections worldwide.
