Official Obama Inaugural Medallion - 7.5 Ounces of .999 Silver
Item # 1803025
Officially-authorized Presidential Inaugural Medals are highly collectible. But when the inauguration is as historic as 2009, they become even more sought-after! We have secured a small cache of these impressive 2 ¾” (70mm) diameter medals in pure silver and are offering them at a substantial savings! The officially authorized Silver Medal contains 7.5 ounces of pure silver. Each medal comes in a gift box with Certificate of Authenticity and a wood display stand.
Seven and a Half Ounces of Pure Silver!
The obverse bears a striking portrait of our newly elected President, Barrack Obama, with his name inscribed above. The reverse bears the Official Inaugural Seal and an ornate design below which reads: 44TH PRESIDENT/ OF THE/ UNITED STATES OF AMERICA/ INAUGURATED JAN. 20, 2009. Below the seal is a split wreath which combines laurel and oak leaves. According to the artist, Thomas D. Rogers: “The laurel leaves symbolize victory; the oak leaves symbolize wisdom and strength; they are tied together below the scroll cartouche with a ribbon that symbolizes unity.” One interesting fact worth noting is that this is the first time that the inaugural seal has actually been featured on the official inaugural medal.
Since 1981, Collectible America has procured rare coins, secured bullion, and struck medallions for the American numismatic public as an independent private mint, not affiliated with the United States Government. This independence provides the cornerstone for our commitment to excellence in both product and service, and, most important, it guarantees to our customers essential rights and complete satisfaction.
