Description

This 2019-P high relief matte medal from the Philadelphia Mint contains 2.5 troy ounces of .999 fine silver. The high relief format, which raises the design elements above the typical plane of the medal surface, creates dramatic shadows and visual depth that have made high relief pieces among the most sought-after modern U.S. Mint products. The matte finish adds a textured, non-reflective surface that emphasizes the sculptural qualities of the high relief design. The medallic commemorative tradition in America accelerated during the centennial celebrations of the late nineteenth century, with the 1876 Centennial Exposition generating an unprecedented number of medallic issues. Regional and local commemorative medals provide historical documentation of community celebrations, institutional milestones, and civic achievements that may be poorly represented in other primary source material. At 2.5 ounces of pure silver, this is a substantial precious metal piece combining artistic excellence with significant bullion content.
