Coin / United States of America / 1974 / Philadelphia / U.S. Mint Medals - Julian / Other / Varied

The coin in question is a medal from the U.S. Mint Medals series, specifically issued in 1974 by the Philadelphia Mint. This piece is notable for being produced from pewter, a material commonly used in medals and decorative items rather than traditional coinage. Although the coin's diameter and weight are not specified (noted as '0'), it is categorized under the subtype of "Coins," emphasizing its collectible nature even though it does not conform to the standard definitions of traditional currency. It falls under the classification of "Other / Varied" for its denomination, indicating that its value is not based on a standard monetary system but rather on its collectible characteristics. As with many U.S. Mint issued medals, this piece serves a commemorative or artistic purpose rather than functional currency, appealing primarily to collectors and enthusiasts of numismatics. Its mintage information is also marked as '0', suggesting a lack of data available about how many were made, which could imply rarity. Overall, this U.S. Mint medal from 1974 represents a unique intersection of art and history and could be an intriguing addition to collections focused on American minting practices or medals made from unconventional materials.
