Inaugural medals are commemorative tokens struck to celebrate the inauguration of U.S. presidents. The 1909 inaugural medal, designed by Charles E. Barber and struck at the Philadelphia Mint, features a portrait of President William Howard Taft on the obverse and a depiction of the White House on the reverse. Collectors often seek these medals due to their historical significance and limited production, making them valuable additions to numismatic collections. The Levine reference suggests that this particular medal may be cataloged or discussed in Philip Levine’s work on United States medals.
