Description

This yellow bronze restrike medal from 2013 honors General Douglas MacArthur, one of the most decorated and controversial military leaders in American history. MacArthur served with distinction in World War I, commanded Allied forces in the Pacific during World War II, administered the occupation of Japan, and led United Nations forces during the Korean War before his controversial dismissal by President Truman in 1951. The restrike designation indicates this medal was produced from original or reproduction dies at a later date, making the historic design available to modern collectors. MacArthur received the Medal of Honor and numerous other decorations, and his legacy includes both the successful reconstruction of Japan as a democratic nation and his dramatic clashes with civilian authority. The yellow bronze composition provides an attractive golden appearance suitable for display. MacArthur remains one of the most collected American military figures, with a devoted following among both military history and numismatic enthusiasts.
