Coin #1 in President Obama’s Historic Moments Series honors the first and second inaugurations of Barack H. Obama as the 44^th president of the United States. At the West Front of the United States Capitol on January 20^th, 2009, the 56^th inauguration marked the commencement of the first term of Obama as President and Joe Biden as Vice President. President Obama’s inauguration set a record attendance for any event held in Washington D.C. and was one of the most-observed events ever by a global audience.

During his speeches, Obama referred to ideals expressed by President Abraham Lincoln about renewal, continuity, and national unity. It was truly “A New Birth of Freedom” for our country. For the first time, the Presidential Inaugural Committee increased its outreach to ordinary citizens and opened the entire length of the National Mall as the public viewing area for the swearing-in ceremony.

Each coin will have the following features:
*Limited Edition of 2500
*Edge Numbering
*Two-Piece Box with Gold Seal
