George Washington Bronze Medal
George Washington was an American Founding Father, the Commander and Chief of the Continental Army, and the first President of the United States. An exceptional military leader, Washington turned untrained American rebels into a formidable army that won the Revolutionary War, securing America’s freedom from British rule. After the war, Washington took his leadership skills to the Constitutional Convention, where he oversaw the writing of the U.S. Constitution and the founding of American values.
In 1789, George Washington was elected as the first President of the United States, winning 69 of 69 votes from the newly founded electoral college. During his Presidency, Washington worked to build the free Nation that inspired the revolution, ratified the Bill of Rights, and even laid the cornerstone for the White House. After two terms, Washington voluntarily stepped down from office, setting a precedent for the peaceful transfer of power which became a cornerstone of American democracy for more than two centuries. Today, Washington's legacy is in the continued success and development of the Nation made of the people, by the people, and for the people.
This bronze medal commemorates George Washington’s Presidency. It was expertly crafted by the United States Mint.
