The Obverse, with a high relief front facing bust of President Trump with just a hint of a smile. His name, DONALD J. TRUMP is inscribed above. The Reverse legend reads: FORTY-FIFTH PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA INAUGURATED JANUARY 20, 2017 around a representation of the American eagle as it appears on the Presidential Seal.The edge is inscribed MEDALCRAFT MINT at 12:00 and OHIO OIM 2017 at 6:00. Medalcraft Mint acquired "Medallic Art and Mint", formerly two companies: Medallic Art Company and Northwest Territorial Mint. Medalcraft Mint is the largest private mint in all North America. This Boxed 70mm bronze medal was commissioned by the Ohio Republican Party. The Trump obverse was chosen from a selection of obverse designs commissioned by Medalcraft for submission to the Official Inaugural Committee as its official medal.However, due to the indecision of the Trump Inaugural Committee, the Ohio party was given its choice of all of the Medalcraft designs.Peer Hansen crafted this design. About 500 of these medals were struck for distribution to various VIPs attending the inauguration in Washington. Those remaining medals such as this example were made available to collectors.
