2021 John Tyler Presidential 1-oz Silver Medal Gem BU

Remember The Accidental President With This Silver Medal From The U.S. Mint

In 2018, fresh off the success of its Presidential Bronze Medal Series, The United States Mint introduced the Presidential Silver Medal Series. While it’s no surprise that the series is being released in order of when the presidents served, what IS a surprise is that the Mint is using 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!

The First Vice President To Succeed To The Presidency Without Election

Now you can get the tenth release in the series: the 2021 John Tyler Presidential One-Ounce Silver Medal. The first vice president to succeed to the presidency without election — prompting some rivals and critics to refer to him as “His Accidency” — Tyler took over the duties of the nation’s chief executive officer following the death of Preside William Henry Harrison, who died just one month into his term. The early and unexpected death of his predecessor resulted in Tyler serving longer than any other president in U.S. history not elected to the office.

Engraver John Reich’s Jefferson Peace Medal

Besides featuring the bust of Tyler 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.”
