Description

This two-ounce silver Washington Diplomatic Medal, produced circa 2013, offers a larger format than the one-ounce version while maintaining the historic Washington portrait and Great Seal design. The additional size provides more canvas to appreciate the engraving detail of the original dies, which were among the finest products of the early U.S. Mint. The Washington Diplomatic Medal series represents a continuous thread in American numismatic tradition spanning from the 1790s to the present day, with periodic restrikes produced for collectors and as official government gifts. The two-ounce silver format balances collectibility with affordability, making it an accessible entry point for collectors interested in the Diplomatic Medal series without the substantial premium of the gold versions.

Rarity Notes

Two-ounce silver, limited U.S. Mint production. Larger format than the one-ounce silver. Available through U.S. Mint sales.
