Description

This undated Franklin Mint sterling silver medal features George Washington as the first president of the United States (1789-1797). Washington, the "Father of His Country," established virtually every precedent of the American presidency, from the two-term tradition to the peaceful transfer of power. The Franklin Mint's presidential series in sterling silver offered comprehensive coverage of all presidents, with Washington naturally holding the place of honor as the inaugural entry. Sterling silver composition and the Franklin Mint's production quality made this series a popular collecting vehicle for presidential history enthusiasts. Washington medals from any producer are among the most collected American numismatic items, and the Franklin Mint's version provided a consistent quality standard within a systematic presidential series framework.
