inches in diameter.
The obverse (heads) and reverse (tails) designs of the silver
medal honoring President Chester A. Arthur are by sculptor Charles
E. Barber, the Mint’s sixth Chief Engraver.
The obverse depicts a bust of the President with the inscription
“CHESTER A. ARTHUR.” The reverse features a laurel wreath with the
inscriptions “PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES” and “INAUGURATED
SEPTEMBER 20, 1881.”
Each medal is encapsulated and comes with a Certificate of
