The Thomason Medallic Bible was first minted in 1830 by Sir Edward Thomason of Birmingham, England. The inspiration that went into this creation is best described in Sir Edward's own words, as they appeared in his autobiography entitled Sir Edward Thomason's Memoirs During Half a Century. Although years of effort were spent engraving the dies for his Medallic Bible, Sir Edward apparently struck only a few sets, primarily for presentation to the Monarchs of Europe & Asia. As a result, despite the fact this extraordinary series of religious art medals is one of the greatest numismatic achievements of all time, most of these sets have remained secluded in royal collections and have never been exposed to public view. So that this great artistic and religious work would not be lost and forgotten, The Franklin Mint resolved to bring the Thomason Medallic Bible back to life in a new 20th Century version. This new Franklin Mint Version is not a copy or reproduction of the original but a true re-creation from newly engraved dies in a new size:- one and three quarter inch diameter. except for the reduction in size, the scenes have not been changed. The typography, however has been improved and newly selected Biblical Quotations appear on the reverse of each medal.…
