OFFICIAL AMERICA 250™ COMMEMORATIVE MEDALS

America at 250, Minted with Permanence

In 2026, the United States marks 250 years. Society Awards was selected as the official licensed provider of large-format commemorative medals for this national milestone. Each piece is minted in solid brass, die-struck with precision, and designed to endure beyond the moment it represents. This is not a souvenir. It is an artifact.

EXPLORE THE COLLECTION

The 250th Anniversary of the United States

America250™ is the official commemoration of the United States Semiquincentennial, led by the U.S. Semiquincentennial Commission. It marks 250 years since the founding of the nation, not as a single event, but as a national reflection on history, progress, and identity.

Official America250™ Medals

Society Awards is an authorized licensee of the America250™ program, with approval required across all designs, products, and marketing materials. The result is a collection of commemorative medals that meets both the standards of the program and the expectations of serious collectors. These are official America250™ medals, not interpretations, not tributes, but licensed objects tied directly to the national commemoration.

Seven Designs. One Nation.

The collection consists of seven original medals, each reflecting a different dimension of the American story:

Foundation and governance
Unity and continuity
Strength and resilience
Innovation and forward motion

No single design attempts to define America. Together, they create a more complete picture.

3-Inch Die-Struck Solid Brass Medals

Each medal is produced to a standard rarely seen in commemorative objects:

Diameter: 3 inches
Material: Solid brass
Process: Die-struck under high pressure
Relief: Dimensional, sculptural depth
Finish: Controlled to preserve clarity and detail

Unlike cast reproductions, die-striking compresses the metal, producing sharper detail, greater density, and a more enduring structure. This is the same method used historically for official coinage and national medals.

Precision Metal Craftsmanship

Each America250™ medal begins as a sculptural study, where proportion, depth, and hierarchy are resolved before production begins. From there:

Steel dies are engraved to exact specifications
Brass blanks are prepared and struck under significant pressure
Each piece is finished with restraint to preserve the integrity of the design

The result is a medal that feels considered in hand and remains legible over time.

Not Only Designed for the Moment

Most commemorative medals are made for accessibility. These were made for permanence. At 3 inches in diameter, die-struck in solid brass, and developed under official license, this collection occupies a different category, closer to historical artifacts than mass-market memorabilia.
