Sterling silver
Description

The medal's obverse bears numbre 2000 on centerfield, with sun moon, and earth doubling up as the zeros in the number. Around, (compass rose) ENLIGHTENED BY THE PAST (compass rose) EMBRACED BY THE PRESENT (compass rose) / EMPOWERED BY THE FUTURE

The reverse bears sun with inscribed 2000; calendar months arranged in segments around center.

My sterling silver piece is numbered on the edge, so at least the sterling variant was editioned. While I have seen the medal in trimillium‒the Franklin Mint's invented material for high-end medals‒I only assume that a bronze version exists.  The design seems to be very intentional about the different finishes, so it is possible that the polished sterling silver variant was the main variant. I would appreciate any additional information that is available for this medal.

The circular medal measures 76mm in diameter and was struck in different metals by the Franklin Mint. No mintage is reported.
