Thomas Jefferson Presidential Medallion

This item is a circular commemorative medallion or token featuring the likeness of Thomas Jefferson. The piece is struck in a bronze-toned or brass-colored metal alloy with a matte, slightly antiqued finish. The obverse displays a high-relief profile portrait of Jefferson facing slightly right. Circling the portrait's top edge is the name 'THOMAS JEFFERSON,' while the bottom edge reads '3rd PRESIDENT 1801-1809.' The construction suggests a modern striking intended for educational collections or souvenir sets rather than official legal tender currency. In terms of condition, the piece shows minor surface wear consistent with handling, including slight darkening in the recessed areas (patina) and a few minor scuffs along the raised rim. The striking quality is clear with legible lettering, though the artistic style of the portrait is stylized rather than highly realistic. There are no visible mint marks or manufacturer stamps on this side, indicating it likely belongs to a mass-produced historical commemorative set from the late 20th or early 21st century. The edge appears to be smooth or plain. Such items were frequently distributed through supermarkets, fuel stations, or novelty shops as part of complete presidential history collections.
