The Martin Van Buren Silver Presidential Medal
The obverse of the medal depicts Martin Van Buren with the inscriptions "MARTIN VAN BUREN," "PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES," and the year he first took office, "A.D. 1837."
The reverses of the Presidential Silver Medal series have traditionally featured similar imagery that handshake between Native Americans and the United States, with slight variations between the issues. The reverse has also traditionally featured the inscription "PEACE AND FRIENDSHIP."
The medals are struck to order on 1 oz—.999 fine silver planchets. The medals measure 1.6 inches across.
