Medal of John Quincy Adams 1825

This bronze medal, created in 1825 by Moritz Fürst, depicts John Quincy Adams, the sixth president of the United States, in profile. The inscription surrounding his portrait reads "JOHN QUINCY ADAMS PRESIDENT OF THE U. STATES 1825." This commemorative piece, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, is a fine example of a 19th-century medal honoring a significant historical figure.
