Description

This silver medal from 2014 honors President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the thirty-second president who led the nation through the Great Depression and World War II during an unprecedented four terms in office (1933-1945). FDR's New Deal programs fundamentally transformed the role of the federal government in American life, while his wartime leadership helped defeat fascism and establish the post-war international order. Roosevelt's image has appeared on the dime since 1946, making him one of the most recognizable faces on American coinage. This silver medal provides a larger canvas to appreciate a Roosevelt portrait than the diminutive dime, rendered in precious metal appropriate for one of the most consequential presidents in American history. Roosevelt's extraordinary popularity — he won four presidential elections, the only person to do so — and his enduring legislative legacy make him among the most collected presidential subjects in American medallic art.

Rarity Notes

Scarce. Silver presidential medal. FDR is one of the most popular subjects in presidential medal collecting.
