No Date Medal Theodore Roosevelt

Coin Details

Description

This undated medal features Theodore Roosevelt, the twenty-sixth President of the United States who served from 1901 to 1909. Roosevelt's outsized personality and progressive agenda — trust-busting, consumer protection, conservation, the Panama Canal, and the Great White Fleet — made him one of the most dynamic presidents in American history. His direct involvement in coin redesign, commissioning Augustus Saint-Gaudens to create new gold coinage, gives Roosevelt a unique connection to American numismatics. The medallic commemorative tradition in America accelerated during the centennial celebrations of the late nineteenth century, with the 1876 Centennial Exposition generating an unprecedented number of medallic issues. Regional and local commemorative medals provide historical documentation of community celebrations, institutional milestones, and civic achievements that may be poorly represented in other primary source material. Presidential portrait medals of Roosevelt are among the most popular in the series.

Rarity Notes
