(1967-1970)-FM Medal Warren Harding Presidency Sterling Silver

Coin Details

Description

This sterling silver medal from the Franklin Mint's Presidential series depicts Warren G. Harding, the twenty-ninth President who served from 1921 until his death in August 1923. Harding won the 1920 election in a landslide, promising a "return to normalcy" after the upheavals of World War I and the Wilson administration. His presidency has been characterized by the Teapot Dome scandal and other instances of corruption among his appointees, though revisionist historians have noted his support for civil rights and international disarmament. The Franklin Mint's presidential medal series aimed to provide a complete medallic gallery of American presidents in high-quality sterling silver, including controversial figures like Harding alongside universally celebrated leaders. The FM designation and sterling silver composition are consistent with the company's premium medal programs from the late 1960s through 1970.
