Coin Details

Description

This 1992 U.S. Mint Bicentennial medal in bronze at 76mm diameter is the large-format version commemorating the 200th anniversary of the Mint's establishment by the Coinage Act of April 2, 1792. The 76mm format is the standard U.S. Mint large commemorative medal, providing generous space for detailed engraving depicting the Mint's two-century history. The "AE" designation confirms the bronze composition. The Mint's bicentennial was celebrated with multiple products including silver medals, bronze medals in various sizes, and commemorative coins, but the 76mm bronze version represented the traditional large-format medal that the Mint had been producing for over a century. The institution George Washington signed into existence in 1792 had grown from a single Philadelphia facility to a multi-location operation that produces billions of coins annually. This medal honors that remarkable institutional continuity and the craftsmen, engravers, and administrators who maintained America's coinage for two hundred years.
