1925 Assay Commission Medal - JK-AC-69, Bronze, Calvin Coolidge

Coin Details

Description

The 1925 Assay Commission medal in bronze, cataloged as JK-AC-69, features President Calvin Coolidge in his second year on the series and the first year of his elected term — Coolidge won the 1924 presidential election decisively with 54 percent of the popular vote. The 1925 commission examined coinage from the heart of the Roaring Twenties, a period of economic expansion reflected in robust Mint production levels. The 1925 date also coincides with the final year of Peace dollar production before the denomination's hiatus (Peace dollars would not be struck again until 1934), making the commission's examination of 1925 coinage historically significant for silver dollar collectors. The Stone Mountain commemorative half dollar, honoring the Confederate memorial, was also produced in 1925 and would have been among the coins examined by the commission. Bronze composition indicates standard distribution to participating commission members.
