Item Description
Celebrating the 200th anniversary of the Coinage Act of 1792
This lmedallion features two distinct and unique designs.
The primary design element on the obverse is the "Inspecting the Coins" scene as depicted in John Ward Dunsmore's 1914 oil painting. Central figures in the scene are Martha Washington as she looks over a tray of newly minted coins held by Mint Chief Engraver Henry Voigt; the man seen encouraging Martha to have a closer look is Mint Director David Rittenhouse. The men standing directly behind Martha are (from right to left) Thomas Jefferson, George Washington and Alexander Hamilton (with his wife). The origonal idea of this design came from a Philadelphia Mint police officer.
The reverse features a series of "mini" iconic US Coins, providing a brief history of the Mint's designs through the years. Some of the designs included are the obverse of the Wheat Penny, the reverse of the Buffalo nickel, Walking Liberty half dollar, the obverse of the Kennedy half-dollar, the reverse of the US Bicentennial Eisenhower dollar and the obverse of the 1986 Statue of Liberty silver dollar. Lauren Vaughan (designer) and Thomas D. Rogers (sculptor/engraver) are credited with the reverse design.
