1973 Assay Commission Medal - JK-AC-117, Bronze, George P. Shultz

Coin Details

Description

The 1973 Assay Commission medal in bronze, cataloged as JK-AC-117, features George P. Shultz, who served as Secretary of the Treasury in 1972-1974 under President Nixon. Shultz was one of the most versatile public servants of the twentieth century, also serving as Secretary of Labor, Director of the Office of Management and Budget, and later as Secretary of State under President Reagan. At the Treasury, Shultz managed the aftermath of the Nixon Shock and the transition to floating exchange rates. The 1973 commission tested coins from a year that included the Bicentennial coinage planning stages and the continued production of Eisenhower dollars. Shultz's broad experience across government gave him a unique perspective on the Treasury's role in the broader economy, and his Assay Commission medal portrait captures him during a pivotal moment in American economic policy.
