CLINTON – GORE PROPOSED INAUGURAL MEDAL, 1997
.
70mm. Bronze. Charles 341, Sc. (Hoffman Mint.) The Hoffman
Mint struck the Official Inaugural Medal in 1993. This jugate
medal was their proposed medal for the 1997 inauguration. It
was rejected in favor of the entry submitted by the Medallic Art
Company. The sculptor, Charles Vickers, was to have more luck
the next time around as it was his portrait of President George W.
Bush that was selected for the 2001 official medal. The obverse
bears jugate busts of Clinton and Gore to the left while the reverse
bears the Presidential Seal surrounding a two line legend which
reads: PRESIDENT WILLIAM J. CLINTON * VICE PRESIDENT
ALBERT A. GORE * / INAUGRATED TO SECOND TERM OF
OFFICE JANUARY 230, 1997. (D)

Adams, Sc. Rev. (Medalcraft Mint) Uncirculated. The obverse is

facing left. The reverse features a displayed eagle perched on an
American flag. This is a design different from that which eventually
appeared on the official medal. (C)

TYPE II MEDAL.
70mm. Bronze. Gladys Gunzer, Sc. Obv. Steve
Adams, Sc. Rev. (Medalcraft Mint) Uncirculated. This is the official
medal with the obverse the same as on the Type I medal above.

BARACK OBAMA, 2013
897.
PROPOSED OBAMA-BIDEN OFFICIAL INAUGURAL MEDAL,
2013
. 70mm. Amy Kann, Sc. (Medalcraft Mint) Obverse busts
of Obama and Biden facing right, positioned to the left of center.
Legend: SECOND INAUGURATION * JANUARY 21, 2013. The
reverse depicts a water view of the Statue of Liberty at right.
BARACK/ OBAMA/ JOSEPH/ BIDEN inscribed in the center left
field.
Amy Kann’s non-traditional design is believed by many to be a
more pleasing medallic effort than that which was chosen by the
anonymous executives of the Official Inaugural Committee. Their
artistic judgment and their pricing “expertise” is a clarion call for the
re-establishment of the Inaugural Medals Committee! (C-D)
