2000 Medal Charles M. Schulz

Coin Details

Description

This 2000 medal honors Charles M. Schulz, the creator of the Peanuts comic strip — one of the most beloved cultural works of the twentieth century. Schulz drew every single Peanuts strip himself from its debut on October 2, 1950, until his retirement on January 3, 2000, the day before his death on February 12, 2000. Over nearly fifty years, Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Lucy, Linus, and the other characters became global icons appearing in television specials, films, and merchandise that transcended their newspaper origins. The U.S. Mint medal recognizes Schulz's extraordinary contribution to American art and culture — his work addressed themes of loneliness, failure, perseverance, and friendship with gentle wisdom that resonated across generations and national boundaries. Schulz was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in recognition of his lasting impact, and this medal makes that tribute accessible to collectors and fans who cherish the Peanuts legacy.
