Commemorative Medal for the 250th Anniversary of Jews in America

Silver commemorative medal celebrating the 250th anniversary of Jewish settlement in America. Minted in 1905, less than five silver examples are known to exist. Two gold medals were presented to President Theodore Roosevelt and former President Grover Cleveland. An additional 36 silver medals and 284 bronze medals were struck. The planned public monument in Central Park was never erected; funds were instead diverted to aid Russian Jews persecuted by pogroms.
