FRANKLIN DELANO ROOSEVELT BRONZE INAUGURATION MEDAL 1ST BATCH OF 1,000 MEDALS

Description

When President Franklin D. Roosevelt won his third term, the official inaugural medal, above, quickly sold out, so organizers issued a second version with a “2” placed at the ends of the wreath. The first medal is rarer than the second.
Only 1000 of first batch of medals were struck the the next batch of 1000 had a 2 at the ends of the wreath. This Bronze Franklin D. Roosevelt Medal commemorates the presidency of FDR.
The obverse design depicts a portrait of Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Inscriptions are “PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES” and “FRANKLIN DELANO ROOSEVELT.”
The reverse medal features a seated figure representing a sorrowful nation dropping a wreath upon the waters.
Inscriptions are “FOR COUNTRY AND HUMANITY,” “INAUGURATED PRESIDENT MAR. 4, 1933, JAN. 20, 1937, JAN. 20, 1941, JAN. 20, 1945,” “DIED APRIL 12, 1945” and “IN MEMORIAM.”
