Description
The 1921 Assay Commission medal in bronze, cataloged as JK-AC-65, features President Woodrow Wilson, though by the time of the February 1921 commission meeting, Wilson was in his final weeks in office before Warren G. Harding's March 4 inauguration. This transitional medal captures Wilson at the end of an eight-year presidency defined by World War I, the League of Nations fight, and the profound personal tragedy of his stroke. The 1921 commission examined coinage from a landmark year in numismatic history — the resumption of silver dollar production with both the final Morgan dollars and the first Peace dollars, making 1921 one of the most collected years in American numismatics. The bronze composition indicates standard distribution to commission members attending the annual proceedings at the Philadelphia Mint.
