2017 1/2-oz Gold Teddy Roosevelt National Park NGC PF70UCAM Mercanti Signed

Celebrating an American Icon

Statesmen are generally viewed primarily as political leaders who are judged by their policy successes and failures, as well as their leadership during challenging times. Teddy Roosevelt, however, distinguished himself from most other presidents in the American collective psyche because of his rugged personality. While he wore many hats at various stages of his life, including conservationist, police commissioner, and ranger, his love of the outdoors and active personality are what continue to capture the imaginations of those who study him. This gold proof features a look at the president and one of the animals that continues to roam the part of America that held a special place in his heart.

• THREE-NINE FINE – Each 2017 Rough Rider National Park proof was struck from 1/2-oz of 99.9% fine gold at the British Royal Mint. The coin has a proof finish that beautifully accents its stunning designs.
• AUTHORIZED BY THE NATIONAL PARK FOUNDATION – This medal was officially authorized by the National Park Foundation, which oversees the park that gets its name from the American president.

• MERCANTI-SIGNED LABEL – The label on which NGC provided this medal's grade was signed by former U.S. Mint Chief Engraver John Mercanti, who also designed both faces of the piece.

From his tough personality to his love the outdoors, President Theodore Roosevelt was beloved for being a man of the people. This medal beautifully captures him as he continues to be remembered, on his horse and in charge. That obverse design was taken from Alexander Proctor's famous Rough Rider statue. The memory of the President will last for years to come, but our stock of this medal will not. Order yours now at GovMint.com while you still can!
