No Date Medal William J Clinton (2nd) 3" Bronze

Coin Details

Description

This undated 3-inch bronze medal of William J. Clinton (second term) is a 76mm display-format presidential medal variant from the U.S. Mint. This entry represents a distinct catalog variant from other second-term Clinton 3-inch medals, potentially reflecting different die states, production periods, or finish characteristics. Clinton's second term (1997-2001) coincided with the dot-com boom, the completion of the Human Genome Project, the NATO intervention in Kosovo, and the contentious 2000 presidential election between Al Gore and George W. Bush. The federal budget surpluses achieved during this period — $69 billion in 1998, $126 billion in 1999, and $236 billion in 2000 — represented a dramatic fiscal turnaround from the deficits that had characterized federal budgets since 1970. Clinton used the surplus to begin paying down the national debt, a priority that was reversed after his departure. Clinton left office with the highest end-of-term approval rating of any post-World War II president, despite the impeachment proceedings that had dominated 1998-1999. His post-presidency has been marked by the Clinton Foundation's global health and development work, particularly in HIV/AIDS treatment in Africa and disaster relief. The 76mm bronze medal in this catalog variant provides collectors with another option for representing the Clinton second term in their presidential medal collections.
