1976 Medal Medallic Art Co. Silver Society of Medallists #92

Coin Details

Description

This 1976 silver medal by Medallic Art Company is cataloged as Society of Medalists issue number 92 (SOM #92). The Society of Medalists, one of the most distinguished art medal programs in American history, issued two medals per year from 1930 to 1995. Issue #92, falling in 1976, coincides with the American Bicentennial, and the design may reflect patriotic or historical themes appropriate to the anniversary. The silver composition is the premium version, produced in limited numbers alongside the standard bronze subscriber edition. By 1976, the Society of Medalists was in its forty-sixth year, and the accumulated body of 92 issues represented a remarkable survey of American sculptural talent and artistic vision. Medallic Art Company manufactured every issue in the Society of Medalists series, making their name synonymous with the program. The silver SOM medals are consistently scarcer than bronze versions and are sought by collectors building complete or selective sets of this landmark series. Issue #92's Bicentennial-year timing potentially adds thematic significance to whatever subject the sculptor chose to explore.
