THE 2009 OFFICIAL PRESIDENTIAL INAUGURAL MEDAL

Marc Mellon’s obverse (front) design for the 2009 Official Barack Obama Presidential Inaugural Medal was recently approved by the 2009 Presidential Inaugural Committee.  The Official Presidential Inaugural Medal has a history going back to the time of Presidents William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt. The series is widely collected, and considered to be an important part of the art history of America.  Proceeds from the sale of the 2-3/4" medal helped fund the inaugural events of January 20, 2009.
