(2013) Bronze Medal Obama/Biden 2nd Inauguration Medalcraft Mint
Strike Type
Coin Details
Description
This bronze inaugural medal from the Medalcraft Mint commemorates the second inauguration of Barack Obama and Joe Biden on January 21, 2013. Obama's re-election in 2012 over Republican Mitt Romney confirmed the political realignment that his first election had suggested, with a diverse coalition of young voters, minorities, women, and college-educated whites forming a durable Democratic base. The January 21 date reflects the constitutional requirement that the inauguration occur on January 20, which fell on a Sunday in 2013 — Obama took the private oath on Sunday and the public ceremony on Monday. Biden's presence on the medal documents his role as Vice President before his own historic election as president in 2020. The bronze composition provides an affordable commemorative for broad collector distribution.
