Fallen Heroes of 9/11 Medals Designs for NY, Flight 93 and Pentagon

May 15, 2014

Candidate designs have been crafted for three Congressional Gold Medals to honor victims of the Sept. 11, 2001. The medal is the highest civilian honor bestowed by Congress.

A small sampling of the candidate designs for the Fallen Heroes of 9/11 Congressional Gold Medals Designs. Images of all the proposed designs are below.

Medals are authorized by the Fallen Heroes of 9/11 Act, Public Law No: 112-76, for each site impacted by the terrorist attacks of 2001.

As part of the process leading to their striking by the United States Mint, all the proposed designs are getting reviewed today by the Commission of Fine Arts and they will get inspected by the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee on May 19, 2014.

In total, the U.S. Mint unveiled 84 different design candidates for obverse and reverse sides of three Congressional Gold Medals that will be given to:

the Flight 93 National Memorial in Pennsylvania,
the National September 11 Memorial and Museum in New York, and
the Pentagon Memorial in Washington, D.C.

Following the review and discussion stages, the Secretary of the Treasury will select the final 6 designs — one for each side of the three medals. In addition to the Congressional Gold Medals, the U.S. Mint will strike bronze duplicates that will be available for public purchase.

Offered below are images of the different design candidates for the Fallen Heroes of 9/11 Congressional Gold Medals. They are separated by the theme each conveys. (Jump to New York designs, Flight 93 designs, or Pentagon designs.)
