Medal Series of the Judaic Heritage Society: The Medallic History of the Jewish People

Among its best-known projects was The Medallic History of the Jewish People, a collection of 120 medals covering Jewish history from biblical times to the establishment of the State of Israel. Each medal weighs 26.4 grams of sterling silver and has a diameter of 38.4 mm. The reverse of each medal describes the history of the individual. The idea of the medal series was conceived by Robert Weber. They were made by the Franklin Mint and the first medals were issued in August 1969, at a rate of two medals per month. Each medal was accompanied by a leaflet explaining the personality or event depicted on it.
