No Date Medal Fort Knox Mint Bronze 1 5/16"

Coin Details

Description

This undated bronze medal at 1 5/16 inches depicts the Fort Knox Mint facility. Fort Knox, Kentucky, is known primarily as the location of the United States Bullion Depository, which has stored much of the nation's gold reserves since 1937. The U.S. Mint facility at Fort Knox supports the depository's operations. This medal is part of the U.S. Mint's series depicting its own facilities and related installations, produced in the standard 1 5/16-inch bronze format for retail sale. The American medallic tradition draws on European precedents while developing distinctly national characteristics, with medal producers from the U.S. Mint to private firms creating pieces that reflect American values and commemorative practices. The Fort Knox Depository, though technically separate from the Mint, operates under the Treasury Department and is indelibly associated with America's gold reserves.
