The Ronald Reagan "Great Moments" Commemorative Medallions
(Only 14 Coins Remain in Stock)

February 6, 2011, marked the 100th anniversary of Reagan’s birth. As we observed the Ronald Reagan Centennial, we were presented with a renewed opportunity to celebrate his ideals, recognize his achievements, and preserve his legacy.

To honor Ronald Reagan during his centennial celebration, Conservative Book Club partnered with the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation to introduce a stunning tribute to the 40th President of the United States. The Ronald Reagan “Great Moments” Commemorative Medallions are heirloom-quality commemoratives that memorialize two of Reagan’s greatest achievements...

On the morning of his inauguration, Ronald Wilson Reagan addressed a nation shadowed by inflation, heavy taxes, and self-destructive foreign policies. And, as he foretold the bright future he would bring to America, sunlight burst through the dark clouds above.

In June of 1987, President Reagan stood before the Brandenburg Gate. There he challenged Mikhail Gorbachev to end the tyranny symbolized by the Berlin Wall. Two years later, crumbled by Reagan’s firm policy, this wall — and the Communist regime it stood for — came tumbling down.

These prophetic occasions represent two of the great triumphs of Ronald Reagan’s presidency — as well as his insight into men’s hearts… his great vision… his strength. And now they lend their splendor to a very special series of collectibles that honor the legacy of this great American — The Ronald Reagan “Great Moments” Commemorative Medallions.

Elizabeth Jones — the renowned artist Reagan appointed Chief Engraver of the United States Mint — was commissioned to design the Ronald Reagan “Great Moments” Commemorative Medallions. Jones designed these medallions in the fresh, spirited style Reagan especially admired.

In the striking bas relief portraits sculpted for the face of the Inauguration Medallion, Jones captured the glory of Ronald Reagan’s first inauguration. Featuring both President and Mrs. Reagan in their jubilant ride down Pennsylvania Avenue, the Inauguration Medallion honors the new hope the Reagans brought to the White House on February 20, 1981. A phrase made famous by Ronald Reagan later in his Presidency “It’s morning in America” — is engraved on the Inauguration Medallion to recall the optimism our nation shared on that historic day and throughout his presidency.

President Reagan’s bold challenge, “Mr. Gorbachev, Tear Down this Wall” graces the Berlin Wall Medallion. Jones captured the drama of Reagan’s resounding admonition to Mikhail Gorbachev at the Brandenburg Gate section of the Berlin Wall in West Germany on June 12, 1987. The Berlin Wall Medallion is a stunning tribute to the leader of the free world who brought down Communism and ended the Cold War.

To grace the back of both medallions, Jones rendered a sculpt inspired by the U.S. Presidential Seal in splendid detail. The dates of Reagan’s presidency and the silver content have also been engraved on the back of each medallion. And every nuance of Jones’s art has been perfectly preserved throughout this important first edition. These flawless, proof-quality silver medallions are truly worthy of the great man they honor.

As impressive in size as in beauty, each medallion measures a full 1.85 inches in diameter and is minted of one full troy ounce of .999 pure silver. Each medallion is double-struck for maximum sharpness and detail.

Enclosed in a special presentation case, this is the perfect gift for the American who reveres President Ronald Reagan.

About the Artist
Elizabeth Jones

When President Reagan appointed Elizabeth Jones Chief Engraver of the United States Mint in 1981, she was already revered as one of the world’s finest medallic sculptors. Ever since her days as an art student in Rome, she had devoted her talent to bas relief sculpture for medals and medallions. After completing her studies at Rome’s unique Scuola dell’Arte della Medaglia, a school inside the Italian mint, the young American artist went on to win numerous prestigious commissions for her spirited medallic portraits. And by 1972, she was named Sculptor of the Year by the American Numismatic Society.

During her ten years at the U.S. Mint, Elizabeth Jones’s coins gained further recognition for their beauty. Her distinctive designs included the only three US coins to ever win the International Medallion of the Year Award.
