Description

This bronze medal from 2017 commemorates the first term of President Barack Obama, the forty-fourth president of the United States and the first African American to hold the nation's highest office. Obama's first term (2009-2013) was defined by the response to the Great Recession, the passage of the Affordable Care Act, the operation that killed Osama bin Laden, and the beginning of the economic recovery. His election in 2008 was a historic moment that demonstrated the evolving nature of American democracy. This bronze medal is part of the U.S. Mint's ongoing presidential medal series, which produces medals for each presidential term. The 2017 production date, following the conclusion of Obama's presidency, allowed the medal program to complete both first and second term issues simultaneously. Obama medals are among the most collected modern presidential items, reflecting the historic significance of his presidency and his enduring popularity.
