Lafayette Bicentennial Commemorative Medal (1824–2024)

This commemorative medal honors General Marquis de Lafayette and the 200th anniversary of his celebrated 1824–1825 return tour of the United States.

Lafayette’s visit marked a defining moment in early American memory — the nation honoring one of its Revolutionary War heroes while many of the founding generation were still alive.

This medal reflects that legacy through a detailed raised relief portrait set within an ornate classical frame.
