OFFICIAL AMERICA 250™ COMMEMORATIVE MEDALS

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.

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 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.

Seven Designs. One Nation.

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.

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.

For Collectors, Institutions, and Those Marking the Moment
