2025 TRUMP INAUGURAL MEDALThe 2025 Inauguration is coming up, and Mike Costanzo passed along this proposed medal design. -Editor 
I found this proposed 2025 Trump Inaugural Medal by sculptor Jurek Jakowicz. Jurek designed the reverse of the 1997 Clinton/Gore "Bridges to Tomorrow" inaugural medal. He is offering examples of the 2025 Trump medal on his Facebook page. As Trump fumbled the ball with his 2017 medal, I wonder if he is considering this beautiful design. Trump wanted the White House on his 2017 inaugural medal and needed permission to do so. The White House Historical Society didn't grant it to him and by then time had almost run out. The Ohio Republican Party issued one instead but it is still considered un-official. Trump did issue a medal in September of 2017 but it looked more like a campaign medal. In the end I think nobody was happy either way. Below is the 2017 proposed medal by the Medalcraft Mint, and the images look amateurish. The 2025 Jakowicz design is much better, although their clothing looks flat. It a better portrait of Trump than I've seen elsewhere. -Editor 
Mike adds: "Jakowicz is currently taking reserved orders for the medal. Price is $175 not including shipping and comes with a wooden box (I've got my order in). Message him on Facebook for additional information. Medals expect to be ready to ship in mid January."
