Custom Liberty Medals

Each Year, the National Constitution Center awards the liberty medal to those brave people who have strived for freedom in the world. Many of the men, women, and organizations are included in the Medal’s roster of recipients. Through the past two decades, they have guided and shaped the world, including Sandra Day O’Connor, Shimon Peres, Kofi Annan, Nelson Mandela, and Colin Powell. Such personalized medals symbolize honor.

To commemorate the U.S. Constitution, the liberty medal award was established in 1988. In 2006, the National Constitution Center firstly administrated the medal, when Presidents George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton were praised for their bipartisan humanitarian efforts because they helped the victims of the hurricanes on the Gulf Coast and the tsunami in Southeast Asia. Other past Liberty Medal recipients include Kofi Annan, Nelson Mandela, Sandra Day O’Connor, Shimon Peres, and Bono.

Liberty award medal was established in 1986 to twelve excellent people. The awarding of this medal came up only once on purpose because it was associated with a centennial celebration event. Since Liberty Weekend in 1986, no other liberty medal has been awarded, although it is always possible when Lady Liberty turns 200 more may be awarded.
