America at 250, Minted with Permanence
In 2026, the United States marks 250 years. Society Awards was selected as an 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
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.
Society Awards is an authorized licensee of America250, 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.
The collection consists of seven original medals, each reflecting a different dimension of the American story:
No single design attempts to define America. Together, they create a more complete picture.
Each medal is produced to a standard rarely seen in commemorative objects:
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.
Each America250 medal begins as a sculptural study, where proportion, depth, and hierarchy are resolved before production begins. From there:
The result is a medal that feels considered in hand and remains legible over time.
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.
These America250 commemorative medals are intended for:
They are not produced to be temporary. They are produced to be kept.
