2019 1-oz Silver John Quincy Adams Presidential Medal NGC MS70 First Releases

Presidential Silver Medal Honors John Quincy Adams

The U.S. Mint has done it again! Fresh off the success of its Presidential Bronze Medal Series, it has introduced the Presidential Silver Medal Series. While it’s no surprise that the series will release the medals in order of when the presidents served, what IS a surprise is that the Mint used the same one-ounce planchets of 99.9% fine silver that are used for the American Silver Eagles! At 40.6 mm in diameter, these big silver medals will look great in any collection!

Now you can get the sixth release in the series – the John Quincy Adams Presidential Silver Medal. The son of President John Adams, John Quincy Adams accompanied his father on many of his official diplomatic duties. Today, he is regarded as one of the most effective diplomats to serve the nation. As president, Adams was the first major political figure to take an anti-slavery stance, predicting that the institution of slavery would divide the country.

Besides featuring the bust of Adams on its obverse, the medal’s reverse features an updated version of Engraver John Reich’s design for the Jefferson Peace Medal. The Peace Medal was given to Native Americans during the Lewis & Clark Expedition from 1804-1806. The Mint’s Assistant Engraver from 1807-1817, Reich had earlier designed the Thomas Jefferson Presidential Inaugural Medal in 1801. The design shows two hands clasped together – one with a military cuff the other with a Native American wristband. Above is a tomahawk and peace pipe, and above, between and below the images is the inscription "PEACE AND FRIENDSHIP.”

Authorized by Congress, the commemorative Presidential Medals are meant to celebrate and honor the men who were instrumental in forming the foundation of the United States of America. Each medal is designed and crafted to be rich in symbolic history representing the remembrance and preservation of our American past and the never-ending goal for a brighter future. The first two medals in the program were introduced in 2018. Since then, the Mint will release four Presidential Silver Medals each year until each president has been represented.
