The Front of our Alaska commemorative bill pictures Alaska's first governor, William Allen Egan, and the bill's denomination, 1959, is the year of admission to the Union as the 49th state.  The serial number has the actual date of admission, 01/03/1959 encoded within AK, the state's abbreviation.  Juneau, AK is shown as the capital city. 

 

The Back of the Bill shows the Willow Ptarmigan as the state bird, the Sitka Spruce as the state tree, the Forget-Me-Not as the state flower, and the Bull Moose as the state land mammal.

 

The U.S. Commemorative Quarter Dollar for the State of Alaska is pictured, and the state nickname, The Last Frontier, is mentioned.
