The William Harrison Silver Medal
While the United States Mint has not yet revealed the exact design that will appear on the Harrison issue, previous releases in the series have had a relatively uniform design that gives us insight into the designs that will most likely appear on the Harrison Silver Medals.
Traditionally meals in the series have featured a portrait of the respective president being honored, in this case, William Harrison, along with the inscriptions, “PRESIDENT OF THE U.S.,” and the year the subject took office, in this case, “A.D. 1841.”
The reverse design featured on the Presidential Silver Medal series has historically been standard across the entire series. Two hands, one representing the United States of America and one representing Native American, are shown in a handshake. Overhead are a crossed Native American Peace Pipe and a Tomahawk. The phrase “PEACE AND FRIENDSHIP” has traditionally been inscribed upon the reverse.
The medals are struck to order on 1 oz. .999 fine silver blanks, each measuring 1.6 inches across. More information about this release and its design will be added to this page when available, so check back often!
