Price: $39.95
In 1801, President Thomas Jefferson sent explorers Meriwether Lewis and William Clark and their "Corps of Discovery" to map out the new American West. As a symbol of friendship to the native inhabitants of this new land, President Jefferson employed an age-old tradition of offering a "Peace Medal." Minted in pure silver, the Jefferson Peace Medal was the first time a President appeared on any coin produced by the U.S. Government. The Presidential Peace Medal program continued until 1869, when Andrew Johnson was the last President to have one minted.Limitation: 9,999 complete collectionsMaterial: Copper-nickelWeight: 33 gIssue year: 2008Diameter: 40 mmQuality: ProofObverse: Thomas JeffersonReverse: Peace and FriendshipCustomer can only order up to 5 pcs.
