The striking of a medallion commemorating Minden's 100th anniversary is 11 a.m. Friday at the Nevada State Museum, 600 N. Carson St., in Carson City.
Featuring original artwork by Gardnerville resident Joe DeLorey of the old bandstand which once stood in Minden Park, 500 silver and 100 gold-plated coins will be minted at the museum, according to Minden Town Office Manager Sheila Byington.
