Offered here is a scarce matched pair of sterling‑mounted earrings featuring original 1/20 oz .999 fine silver rounds struck by the boutique Walrus Mint of Alaska. These fractional silver pieces are seldom seen outside the state and were produced in extremely limited quantities for local jewelers and tourist shops. Unlike the occasional single pendant that surfaces online, complete matched earring pairs are rarely encountered.
Each round displays the Eagle Head obverse with the legend: ALASKA – WALRUS MINT – 1/20 OZ .999 FINEThe reverse features a rendering of the Seal of the State of Alaska, a design typically associated with official medallions but here used on a privately minted fractional bullion piece.
The silver rounds are mounted in sterling silver (.925) earring settings, each bearing the jeweler’s mark “DF”, indicating small‑batch or custom assembly rather than mass production. The craftsmanship is consistent, and both earrings match in design, finish, and presentation — a rarity for Walrus Mint items, which were often sold Walrus Mint (Alaska, private boutique mint)

Weight: 1/20 oz each (1/10 oz total silver weight)
Mounts: Sterling Silver (.925), jeweler’s mark “DF”
