Limited Edition USS Constitution Copper Medallion

This limited-edition medallion is made from copper sheathing that once clad USS Constitution's wooden hull. It is illustrated with images celebrating the earliest years of USS Constitution's history. On the front is a rendering of the Ship based on a circa 1803 painting by Michele Felice Cornè, the earliest known artistic depiction of "Old Ironsides" that is still in existence. On the back of the medallion is an artist's concept rendering of Constitution's original figurehead: a large full-length statue of the Roman hero, Hercules. A total of 6,000 medallions were struck in Providence, Rhode Island under the USS Constitution Museum's direction in 2018. Each medallion comes with a legend card providing more details about the copper, the imagery on the coin as well as certifying that the copper's origin. Each booklet also provides the individual number of the coin.
