CHARLOTTE, N.C., June 2, 2026
Luxury awards maker introduces a collection of 3-inch, die-struck solid brass medals honoring the 250th anniversary of the United States
CHARLOTTE, N.C., June 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Society Awards, the premier designer and manufacturer of the world's most prestigious custom awards, has been selected as an official licensee of America250, the national nonpartisan organization charged by Congress to engage every American in celebrating our country's 250th anniversary.
Under this license, Society Awards has created an exclusive collection of high-end commemorative medals bearing the official America250 logo. The collection consists of seven original designs, each reflecting a distinct interpretation of American history, identity, and enduring national character.
All designs, products, and marketing materials were developed under formal review and approval, ensuring alignment with the standards and intent of the U.S. Semiquincentennial Commission.
A Different Standard of Commemoration
Each medal measures 3 inches in diameter and is minted in solid brass using traditional die-striking techniques historically associated with official coinage and national medals. This process compresses metal under significant pressure, producing sharp, dimensional relief and lasting structural integrity.
The result is a commemorative object defined by permanence rather than novelty.
Manufacturing Process
The medals are produced through a multi-stage process designed to ensure precision and durability:
- Sculptural development to establish depth, hierarchy, and proportion
- Custom steel die engraving to exact specifications
- High-pressure striking of solid brass blanks
- Controlled finishing to preserve clarity of detail
This approach reflects the standards applied by Society Awards in the creation of the world's most recognized trophies and awards.
A Collection Reflecting 250 Years
Rather than a single design, the collection presents seven distinct interpretations of the American experience, exploring themes such as:
- Foundation and governance
- Unity and continuity
- Strength and resilience
- Innovation and forward progress
Together, the collection reflects the complexity and continuity of the United States over 250 years.
Availability
The America250 commemorative medal collection by Society Awards will be available for purchase directly through the company's website at societyawards.com/america250.
