(1970s)-D Medal Calvin Coolidge 34mm Inaugurated 1923

Coin Details

Description

This 34mm Denver Mint presidential medal features Calvin Coolidge with the notation "Inaugurated 1923." Coolidge assumed the presidency upon Harding's death and was elected to a full term in 1924. Known as "Silent Cal" for his taciturn demeanor, Coolidge presided over the prosperity of the Roaring Twenties and championed a laissez-faire economic policy that included tax cuts, reduced regulation, and minimal government spending. The Denver Mint series captures Coolidge among the presidential gallery in its standardized 34mm format. The rarity spectrum for political campaign medals ranges from common pieces produced in large quantities for mass distribution to unique or near-unique presentation examples that command premium prices in specialized auctions. His famous statement "the chief business of the American people is business" encapsulated the pro-business philosophy that dominated the 1920s and would be revived by later conservative movements.
