Fantastic official Nixon Inaugural medallion! You are bidding on a rare 4.5-ounce .999 pure silver art coin medallion commemorating Richard Nixon’s inauguration. The front of the medal has a 3-D portrait of Nixon and is marked RICHARD MILHOUS NIXON. In very small letter under Nixon’s portrait is marked “Ralph Menconi 1969.” The back of the coin is marked “37TH PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA INAUGRATED JANUARY 20, 1969”. The edge of the coin is marked “Medallic Art Co. N.Y. 999+ pure silver 1274.” This coin is 2 ½ inches across and is 1/8 inch thick. I feel certain that you won’t be disappointed with this medallion. It is a beautifully done artistic piece done by a noted portrait sculptor with great historical importance. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding. See my other coin auctions. The 1969 silver Nixon medal by master portrait sculptor, Ralph J. Menconi, had a limited production of only 15,000 copies.
