Warren G. Harding was the 29th President of the United States, serving from 1921 until his death in 1923. Harding was a successful newspaper publisher who served in the Ohio legislature and the U.S. Senate. In 1920, he won the general election in a landslide, promising a "return to normalcy" after the hardships of World War I.
The obverse (heads) depicts a bust of the President with the inscription "WARREN G. HARDING."
The reverse (tails) features a mourning female figure standing beside a column symbolizing strength, holding a laurel branch with a palm branch entwined with a wreath at her feet. Below an adaptation of the Presidential Seal are the inscriptions "INAUGURATED PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES MAR. 4, 1921" and "DIED AUG. 2, 1923."
Congress created the United States Mint in 1792, and the Mint became part of the Department of the Treasury in 1873. As the Nation's sole manufacturer of legal tender coinage, the Mint is responsible for producing circulating coinage for the Nation to conduct its trade and commerce. The Mint also produces numismatic products, including proof, uncirculated, and commemorative coins; Congressional Gold Medals; silver and bronze medals; and silver and gold bullion coins. Its numismatic programs are self-sustaining and operate at no cost to taxpayers.
