Mint
United States Mint of Philadelphia, United States (1792-date)Comments
The bronze variety of this medal had an unknown number of pieces from the 140,000 minted, silver plated by a private vendor, and was popular among collectors because of the difficulty in obtaining the larger 5.3 ounce silver medal
Matthiesen with collaboration from Hartung designed the Century 21 symbol
