# 86 - September 11 National Medal
Today, instead of the coins that I usually show you, I will write about an American medal.
We can call it a Commemorative Medal, for it was struck in accordance with legislation passed by Congress and signed by the President on August 6, 2010, as Public Law 111-221.
It is the 2011 "US September 11 National Medal". This medal was issued by the Department of the Treasury, United States Mint, in commemoration of the 10th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States and the establishment of the National September 11 Memorial & Museum at the World Trade Center.
It weighs 26.73g with 90% silver purity.
The obverse design features Lady Liberty holding the Lamp of Remembrance. Behind her are beacons of light stretching skyward. Liberty, the lamp and the light symbolize not just the immeasurable loss on that fateful day, but also the resiliency and triumph of those who perservered.
The reverse design depicts an eagle, symbolizing the strength of the survivors, families and Nation, against a backdrop of cascading water. The flowing water is emblematic of peace, serenity, healing and the continuity of life.
I hope you have enjoyed this little different article.

Someday we'll show that to our grand children and they will ask "what's 911?" @ironshield
I hope that they will ask because the world is at last in peace and they don't know what the word hate means...
OMG... solemn feelings just came over me... I have goose bumps all over!
History is here to not let us forget.
