The Union League of Philadelphia was founded in 1862 as a patriotic society to support the Union and the policies of President Abraham Lincoln. The Union League of Philadelphia laid the philosophical foundation of other Union Leagues across a nation torn by civil war. The League has hosted US presidents, heads of state, industrialists, entertainers and dignitaries from around the globe and has proudly supported the American military in each conflict since the Civil War. The Union League continues to be driven by its founding motto, "Amor Patriae Ducit" or "Love of Country Leads."
The bust on the obverse is from the 1925 Presidential inaugural medal. The medal actually commemorates three events: first, Coolidge's Honorary Membership in the Union League of Philadelphia; second, Coolidge's attendance at the Founder's Day observance of the Union League of Philadelphia on November 17, 1927; third, it also recognized the 65th Anniversary of the Union League of Philadelphia.
The circular medal measures 63.7mm in diameter and was struck in bronze by the Medallic Art Company of New York. The mintage is reported to be above 3,000.
