(c.1960s) Medal FH-627 Yellow Bronze Ulysses S. Grant

Coin Details

Description

This circa 1960s yellow bronze medal, cataloged as FH-627 (Fuld-Higby), features a portrait of Ulysses S. Grant, the eighteenth president of the United States and commanding general of the Union armies during the Civil War. Grant's military genius — particularly his strategies at Vicksburg and his relentless pursuit of Lee's Army of Northern Virginia — earned him a reputation as the indispensable general of the Civil War. His presidency (1869-1877) was marked by Reconstruction efforts and struggles against the Ku Klux Klan. The FH-627 designation places this within the Fuld-Higby catalog of medal restrikes, indicating a mid-twentieth century production using historical dies or faithful reproductions. Yellow bronze provides an attractive golden finish appropriate for a presidential portrait medal. Grant medal restrikes are popular with Civil War collectors and presidential memorabilia enthusiasts.
