Medals

The U.S. Mint produces a variety of national medals to commemorate significant historical events or sites and to honor those whose superior deeds and achievements have enriched U.S. history or the world.

Some medals made by the Mint are bronze duplicates of Congressional Gold Medals authorized under separate Public Laws. Congress approves these gold medals and presents them to individuals, groups, or institutions for their distinguished achievements and contributions. When legislation permits, the Mint strikes bronze duplicates for sale to the public.
