No Date Medal Jimmy Carter

Coin Details

Description

This undated medal features Jimmy Carter, the thirty-ninth President of the United States who served from 1977 to 1981. Carter, a Georgia peanut farmer and naval officer, won the presidency as a Washington outsider in the aftermath of Watergate. His presidency included the Camp David Accords between Egypt and Israel, the Panama Canal Treaties, and the Iran hostage crisis. The artistic quality of American medals has evolved significantly over time, from the competent but sometimes crude products of early die cutters to the sophisticated sculptural compositions of modern medalists. Cross-referencing medal designs with contemporary photographs, newspaper accounts, and organizational records reveals the historical contexts that generated demand for specific commemorative pieces. Carter's post-presidential career of humanitarian work with Habitat for Humanity and the Carter Center earned him the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002, making him one of the most productive former presidents in American history.
