(1923) Medal Harding US Mint Bronze 33mm

Coin Details

Description

This bronze medal at 33mm diameter honors President Warren G. Harding, produced circa 1923 by the United States Mint. Harding served as the 29th president from 1921 until his sudden death on August 2, 1923, during a western tour. His presidency was later overshadowed by the Teapot Dome scandal and other corruption revelations, though Harding himself was personally popular during his lifetime. The 33mm bronze format was the U.S. Mint's standard size for the presidential medal series — small enough for personal display or cabinet collection, yet large enough to render the presidential portrait with appropriate detail. The U.S. Mint has produced presidential medals as part of its ongoing series documenting every president, making this a standard issue within that comprehensive program. Harding medals are of particular interest because his death in office and the subsequent scandals created a complex historical legacy that continues to generate scholarly debate.
