The 1974 Calendar / Art Medal is a handsome blending of the mystical signs of the Zodiac with the calendar for the new year.
"I was really pleased with the challenge of sculpturing this medal." explains sculptor Ernest Lauser. "Since the calendar for this medal was to be placed with six months to a side, the design called for an approach different from past years when all twelve months were on one side. The fluid action of the twelve signs of the Zodiac seemed most appropriate for the design. Particularly when one thinks of the close association of the Zodiac and the calendar months. Early man relied on nature --- the sun, moon and stars --- to record and measure the passage of time, just as we use the calendar."
Lauser is a Sagittarian, and his design shows the careful planning and imagination attributed to those born under this Zodiac sign. His delightful renderings of the age-old Zodiac symbols give a sense of animation to the Calendar / Art Medal --- a feeling that the monthly calendars and the signs are in orbit around the design's central figures.
The 1974 Calendar/Art Medal was minted in both sterling silver and bronze. Each medal is 76mm in diameter and is individually oxidized (antiqued), giving it a special finish which allows handling without damage to the surface.

This work of art, which has been called the most beautiful medal ever conceived, was a tribute to the Allied victory over Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. The medal was created by Benedetto Pistrucci, the famed Italian medallist. Pistrucci worked on the medal, which he regarded as his finest work, for 33 years, from 1817-1850. When he died, the work was technically unfinished , since it carried no inscription to specifically connect the medal with Waterloo.
The face of the medal carries profile busts of the 4 sovereigns whose alliance overthrew Napoleon: the Prince Regent (Later King George IV) of England, Francis II of Austria, Alexander I of Russia and Frederick William III of Prussia. The outer border provides an allegorical interpretation of the victory and of the peace which followed. The central motif on the reverse depicts 2 mounted horsemen galloping into action, urged on by the winger figure of victory. The border composition represents the mythological battle of the giants in their assault on heaven.
When this work was complete, the dies were considered so valuable, no one had the courage to harden them and risk damaging the sculpture. As a result, the original medal was never struck. Those original dies measure 5 1/4 " in diameter and to this day they have still not been hardened. Many years ago, John Pinches (Medallists) Ltd-- the British affiliate of the Franklin Mint, was authorized to make 2 sets of electrotypes in soft copper from these dies. From one of these electrotypes, Pinches struck the medal in a 2 1/2 " size. New dies were produced, and Pinches added the inscription "Waterloo June 18, 1815" on the edge of each medal. All specimens are serially numbered.

For the first time in history, a former President of the U. S. is involved in the creation of a definitive and very different study of the American Presidency. A history of America's highest office that focuses not only on the men who have held it, but also on the events that have shaped that great office. This history is being recorded in a series of 100 commemorative medals. Gerald R. Ford, the 38th President of the U. S., re-examined the history of the Presidency and chose the 100 events in the history of the U. s. that were most influential in shaping the nature of that office. Important, exciting and controversial events that have defined and dramatized the extent of our President's powers.
President Ford wrote a special preface for the collection and is personally editing the written commentaries that accompany each medal . Each subscriber also received a matched set of two custom-designed hardbound albums. A Certificate of Authenticity bearing President Ford's signature was also included. The proof edition was the only serially numbered edition.

An alleged "silver" map of the world, engraved in a 18th century manner. The map is contained within a gilt metal strapwork border, hallmarked, 19 1/2 inches by 27 1/2 inches (37cm x 56cm), in a ornate, heavy custom wood frame. Released in 1976. There is less than 4 ounces of silver in this map, contrary to other reports elsewhere on the Internet. We owned a damaged example at one time, and took it apart. The silver is glued to a heavy Masonite board, which makes it appear that the silver is very heavy, but once the thin foil of silver is removed from the heavy Masonite board, less than 4 ounces of sterling silver is left.
