1975-FM Gold Medal George Washington
Strike Type
Coin Details
Description
This 1975 Franklin Mint gold medal features George Washington — America's most depicted numismatic subject. Gold Washington medals from the Franklin Mint represent the highest tier of their commemorative production, combining the most precious metal with the most iconic American portrait. Washington has appeared on more medals, tokens, and coins than any other American figure, and the Franklin Mint's gold version adds to this vast tradition. The 1975 date, approaching the American Bicentennial, placed Washington subjects in particularly high demand as the nation prepared to celebrate its 200th anniversary. Modern commemorative medallions and fantasy pieces employ advanced minting technology including colorized designs, high-relief striking, and selective plating that would have been impossible with earlier production methods. Gold Franklin Mint medals were produced in very limited quantities due to the metal's cost, making them among the scarcest items in the Franklin Mint's extensive catalog.
