The famous fight took place on Labor Day 1906 and drew a huge crowd to the mining town. Gans won the fight after a grueling 42 rounds. This token is very worn. On the reverse, "Nelson-Ganns" can be read as well as the silhouette of the boxers. On the obverse, "Kapp & Revere" can be seen at the bottom and "The Del" at the top. Without wear, the token would read: Obverse: THE DEL MONTE/ GOLDFIELD/ KAPP & REVERE. Reverse: NELSON-GANS/SEP. 3, 1906. 21mm City: Goldfield State: Nevada Date: 1906 HWAC# 28617
