Coin Details

Description

This 14-karat gold medal by Medallic Art Company of Connecticut commemorates the first inauguration of Ronald Reagan in 1981. The 14K gold composition represents the highest prestige tier in the Reagan inaugural medal program, produced in extremely small quantities for the most important presentations. The gold Reagan inaugural medal carries substantial precious metal value in addition to its numismatic and historical significance. Reagan's first inauguration — held on the West Front of the Capitol for the first time and coinciding with the release of the Iranian hostages — was one of the most dramatic inaugurations in American history. The 14K composition provides 58.3 percent pure gold content, offering a balance of precious metal purity and striking durability. Medallic Art Company's gold inaugural medals were the crown jewels of their presidential medal program, produced for recipients including major political figures, inaugural committee chairpersons, and the most dedicated precious metal collectors. The gold Reagan inaugural medal documents the beginning of an administration that would profoundly alter the direction of American domestic and foreign policy.
