Franklin D. Roosevelt Bronze Commemorative Medal

Very Cool Bronze Tribute To FDR

Franklin Delano Roosevelt—known affectionately as FDR—is widely regarded as one of America’s greatest Presidents and it’s easy to see why. With a legacy that includes his New Deal policies aimed at helping alleviate the suffering of many Americans during the Great Depression and his steadfast and confident leadership in the dark days following Japan’s surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 and the years that followed as he guided America through World War II, the nation’s 32nd President was one of the 20th Century’s most important and influential figures.

A Design That Captures The Spirit Of Franklin D. Roosevelt

America was shocked and saddened when FDR unexpectedly passed away just weeks before Nazi Germany surrendered to bring an end to the fighting in Europe. As a memorial tribute, the U.S. Mint struck a commemorative Presidential Medal designed by John R. Sinnock, The Mint’s 8th Chief Engraver. Along with the Roosevelt Dime, the medal was one of Sinnock’s last works as he passed away in 1947. While the medal’s obverse showed a flattering portrait of the late President, it was the reverse design that really captured FDR’s spirit. It featured a seated figure representing a sorrowful nation dropping a wreath upon the waters. To the side, a ship symbolizing the spirit of the late President, sails into the distant mist. Inscriptions are “FOR COUNTRY AND HUMANITY,” “INAUGURATED PRESIDENT MAR. 4, 1933, JAN. 20, 1937, JAN. 20, 1941, JAN. 20, 1945,” “DIED APRIL 12, 1945” and “IN MEMORIAM.”

Sinnock’s Design Returns For The Mint’s Presidential Medals Series

This dramatic design returned in 2014 when the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia struck a Franklin D. Roosevelt Bronze Medal as part of its Presidential Medals series. The series features impeccably detailed likeness of America’s Commanders-in-Chief starting with George Washington and continues all the way through Donald Trump, our nation’s 45th President. These are official medals of the United States Treasury Department making them piece of history that will never lose their national significance.
