1977-FM Medal Jimmy Carter Inauguration Gold

Coin Details

Description

This 1977 Franklin Mint gold medal commemorates the inauguration of President Jimmy Carter — the most precious version of the Carter inauguration medal series. Gold inauguration medals represent the ultimate expression of the Franklin Mint's political commemorative program, produced in extremely limited quantities for the most dedicated collectors. The gold Carter inauguration medal would have been offered at a substantial premium and produced in far fewer numbers than the silver or bronze versions. Presidential inauguration medals in gold form a small but prestigious collecting specialty, with each quadrennial addition representing both a historical document and a significant precious metal holding. The Carter gold inauguration medal completes the metal hierarchy from bronze through silver to gold for this presidential transition.
