Hans Schuler of Baltimore, MD did a great job with its design and sculpting. It's a great example of the combining of realism and symbolism/allegory. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time!

cptbilly Pillar of the Community United States 1969 Posts	Posted 09/10/2023 5:04 pm Official Inaugural Medal, produced by MACO. Paul Manship did the design. The reverse features the first appearance on an Inaugural Medal of the Presidential Seal. The medal is 2.75 inches in diameter and was shipped with a medal stand. One medal was struck in gold and presented to the President. Silver replicas serially numbered from 1 to 7,500 were struck; Numbers 1 to 10 were reserved for Cabinet members. It was expected that approximately 20,000 bronze medals would be struck. A photo of JFK receiving an inaugural medal can be found here, from the JFK Library & Museum Archives https://www.jfklibrary.org/asset-vi...WHP-AR6300-A Edited by cptbilly 09/10/2023 5:08 pm Report this Post to the Staff
