2008 Medal Daw Aung San Suu Kyi Bronze

Coin Details

Description

This 2008 bronze medal honors Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, the Burmese opposition leader and Nobel Peace Prize laureate who spent over fifteen years under house arrest for her pro-democracy activism. Congress awarded Suu Kyi the Congressional Gold Medal in 2008 while she remained imprisoned by Myanmar's military junta, making the award an act of solidarity with her struggle. Suu Kyi, daughter of Burma's independence hero General Aung San, became the symbol of the global democracy movement, though her legacy was later complicated by her handling of the Rohingya crisis after she was released and entered government. Third-party grading services have brought standardized condition assessment to the medal market, helping establish transparent pricing and increasing collector confidence in authentication and quality evaluation. This bronze duplicate captures the moment of her Congressional recognition.
