John Adams, 1735-1826
No peace medals were created with John Adams's likeness during his administration. Later, a die made by Moritz Furst, who had created profile portraits for earlier silver peace medals, was struck in bronze. Based on pre-existing likenesses of Adams, medals in several sizes were created until the early twentieth century in an effort to complete a series of presidential portrait medals.
