The United States Mint produces national medals--selective awards
authorized by Congress--to commemorate significant historical events
of the Nation, or to honor those persons whose superior deeds and
achievements have enriched our history, or the world.
When legislation permits, bronze duplicates (90% copper, 10% zinc),
or "List Medals", are struck for sale to the public. Some are
produced as part of a continuing series, such as the Secretaries of
