2020-2021

Limited-mintage medals recognizing the contribution of ordinary people to slowing the spread of COVID-19, "flattening the curve."

The obverse features a woman and a man, wearing face masks and maintaining six feet of social distance, standing strong. In the background, a lower epidemic curve supersedes the high natural curve.

A quote from John Milton's 19th Sonnet puts our efforts in the context of a larger effort: "They also serve who only stand and wait."
Beneath is the Regency mintmark ("R" within a crown).

The reverse features the virus beneath an international "NO" sign.

The medals are engraved and struck at the Regency Mint in Orem, Utah, to my design. They weigh 1 troy ounce and are minted in pure copper, solid brass, and .999 silver. Mintage limits are 2500, 2500, and 50 respectively; medals will be struck in batches to demand until the maximum is reached, or until December 31, 2021, whichever comes first. The silver medals are marked with weight and fineness and numbered on their edges.
