After releasing the official images of it last week, the United States Mint will begin sales of the Martin Van Buren Presidential Silver Medal later today. The medal, honoring the eighth President of the United States, will go on sale at Noon Eastern, 9:00 AM Pacific. It will be priced at $65.00.
Like the previous medals in the series, the Van Buren medal will be 99.9% silver.
The Reverse of the medal will be the common one that has been used on all of the previous medals in the series.
The reverse features the inscription “PEACE AND FRIENDSHIP,” symbolized by two hands clasped in token of amity. On the cuff of the left wrist are three stripes and buttons; the other wrist is bare. Above the hands, the pipe of peace and the tomahawk are crossed over each other.
