Magnus Maximus Posted September 16, 2022 · Member Share Posted September 16, 2022 My LBJ inauguration medal circa 1964/5. Thing is a whopping 76mm in diameter and weighs more than 50 grams. I believe this was the template for a 2015 one ounce silver round released by the US mint. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually was not aware I had even won anything until an envelope suddenly showed up in my mailbox with the coins! Needless to say, it was a pleasant surprise (the more so because I hadn't even paid yet!) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benefactor DonnaML Posted September 16, 2022 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted September 16, 2022 What a great thread! I have two Presidential Inaugural medals myself, both in bronze, one for Harry S. Truman and the other for John F. Kennedy. The Truman medal is 50 mm. in diameter; the JFK is 70 mm. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPK Posted September 16, 2022 · Supporter Author Share Posted September 16, 2022 @DonnaML You have an impressive medal collection! Harry Truman's Presidential Library is in Independence, Missouri, a few hours from where I live. I've been there a couple different times, and it is very interesting and well-worth the visit. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benefactor DonnaML Posted September 16, 2022 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted September 16, 2022 (edited) Speaking of "inaugural"-type medals, once the date of Charles III's coronation is announced, perhaps he might consider starting a new fashion trend by adopting the attire, wig, and mustache worn by the previous King Charles at his own English coronation. Here is my example of the official Charles II silver English coronation medal, issued in 1661, the earliest in my collection of English/British coronation medals: England, Charles II, Official AR English Coronation Medal, 1661, by Thomas Simon. Obv. Crowned and draped bust right, CAROLVS. II. D.G. ANG. SCO. FR. ET. HI. REX. / Rev. The King enthroned, left, holding scepter with right hand, crowned by Peace, flying right above, EVERSO. MISSVS. SVCCVRRERE. SECLO. XXIII. APR. 1661. 29 mm. Eimer 221 & Pl. 26 [Eimer, C., British Commemorative Medals and their Values (2nd ed. 2010)]; MI i p. 472/76 & Pl. xlv, no. 725 [Medallic Illustrations of the History of Great Britain and Ireland, Vol. I p. 472, No. 76 (1885, reprinted 1969)]; Wollaston p. 6, no. v & ill. 5 [Henry Wollaston, British Official Medals for Coronations and Jubilees (1978)]. Purchased from Historical Medallions, UK, 31 Jan. 2022. There was also a separate and much scarcer medal issued a decade earlier, in 1651, on the occasion of Charles II's Scottish coronation at Scone, under very different circumstances. I don't have an example of that one. Edited September 16, 2022 by DonnaML 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
