Description

This silver medal from 2020 honors President George H. W. Bush and was included in a Coin & Chronicles Set produced by the U.S. Mint. The Coin & Chronicles Sets combine a presidential medal with a related coin and other items to tell the story of each president's life and legacy. Bush, the forty-first president (1989-1993), served as a Navy pilot in World War II, Director of the CIA, Vice President under Reagan, and President during the end of the Cold War and the Gulf War. His single-term presidency saw the fall of the Berlin Wall, the reunification of Germany, and the successful military liberation of Kuwait. Bush died on November 30, 2018, at age 94. The silver composition of this medal elevates it above the standard bronze presidential medal, making the Coin & Chronicles Set a premium collectible. Bush's reputation for public service and decency has only grown since his death, increasing collector interest in items honoring his legacy.
