Additional Details:
Designed by owners Lee and Ruby Carel as a tribute to Virginia City's once great Silver Mining industry - an industry whose production stabilized the Federal treasury during the Civil War and later altered the world's monetary structure. The Silver Queen's dress contains 3,261 Silver Dollars. The belt alone contains 28 Twenty Dollar gold pieces. The picture is fifteen feet high and eight feet wide. While only a few of the coins are of Nevada (Carson City) mintage, a large percentage of them undoubtedly contain silver that was first mined thousands of feet beneath this very building. One of Nevada's most unusual Casino displays
