2009 Barack Obama Unofficial Thomas Rogers Proposed Inaugural Medal. Not often seen medal designed by Thomas Rogers. This was Roger's proposed design for the 2009 Inauguration of Barack Obama and Joe Biden. While this design by Rogers was not selected by the Inaugural Committee, they did select a design by Rogers to appear on the reverse of the final version - just not this one.  Note that the obverse design featuring Barack Obama bears a striking resemblance to the final version that was credited to Marc Mellon as the designer, the difference being this version included the middle initial "H", a larger typeface and a more 3-D surface on the front, and a completely different design on the reverse. Original.
