Silver. Diameter 102mm. The unique Congressional gold medal is on exhibit at the Smithsonian behind glass, in the same display as Grant's stuffed horse!
The gold medal comes in an ornate burl wood, gold filigree presentation box which mechanically lifts up the medal as the lid is opened. Many of Grant's treasures were donated to the SI by the Grant Family.
