By 1924, the historic USS Constitution, famously nicknamed Old Ironsides, had fallen into a severe state of structural decay and disrepair. Because Congress authorized the restoration of the ship but refused to appropriate public funding for it, the Secretary of the Navy launched the National Save Old Ironsides Campaign to raise the necessary funds through public donations. These commemorative medals were minted as pocket pieces and souvenir tokens to incentivize public support. Schoolchildren, citizens, and civic groups across the United States could purchase or receive one of these tokens in exchange for a twenty-five cent contribution to the restoration fund.
