Presidential Silver Medal Honoring James K. Polk Available On February 14
2022, February 14

US Mint - The James K. Polk Presidential Silver Medal will be available for purchase directly from the United States Mint (Mint) starting on February 14 at noon ET. Polk was the nation's 11th U.S. President, serving from March 4, 1845, until March 3, 1849.

The Department of the Treasury has a long-standing tradition of honoring each President of the United States with an official bronze medal struck by the Mint. The Mint is now replicating this series of medals in 99.9 percent fine silver, each measuring 1.598 inches in diameter.

The obverse (heads) of the James K. Polk Presidential Silver Medal is by sculptor John Gadsby Chapman, and the reverse (tails) is by sculptor John Reich, United States Mint Assistant Engraver in the early nineteenth century.

The obverse features Polk's portrait with the inscriptions "JAMES K. POLK," "PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES," and "1845" along the border of the medal. The reverse features the inscription "PEACE AND FRIENDSHIP," symbolized by two hands clasped in token of amity. On the cuff of the left wrist are three stripes and buttons; the other wrist is bare. Above the hands, the pipe of peace and the tomahawk are crossed over each other.

Each medal is encapsulated and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.

Yep! don't forget today is the day James Knox Polk Presidential Silver Medal is being released today at 12 noon EST. (For those on enrollment, your order should already be in. but you should check just to be sure.) I got my notification last night.

Well the mint seems to be moving faster these days. my Polk medal was ordered on the 14th and is now out for delivery today (only 2 days, ordering, processing, packaging, addressing, and finally getting it shipped. Lets not forget the USPS sending it to my door). very fast delivery...
