Description

This sterling silver medal from the Franklin Mint's Presidential series depicts Andrew Jackson, the seventh President of the United States who served from 1829 to 1837. The Franklin Mint produced an extensive series of presidential portrait medals in sterling silver during the late 1960s and early 1970s, offering collectors high-quality medallic portraits of each president. Jackson's medal celebrates a president known for his populist politics, his defeat of the British at New Orleans, and his controversial policies including Indian removal and the destruction of the Second Bank of the United States. The "(1967-1970)" date range indicates the production window for this series. The sterling silver composition and the FM prefix identify this as a premium Franklin Mint product from their peak production era when the company employed some of America's finest medallic sculptors.
