Purchased on April 16, 2022. Research completed on April 16, 2022.
Of the 38 medals identified in this page, 30 were for the meritorious service (only 30 were issued for the fiscal year 1965)
The second highest US Treasury award.
Emanuel E. Minskoff identified on this page.
I pulled the 1965 Annual Report of the Director of the Mint.
The first paragraph under Summary of Functions, Workload, and Personnel states:
"...medals for other U.S. Government agencies..."
Medal was designed by John Ray Sinnock (8th Chief Engraver of the US Mint and designer of the Roosevelt dime, Franklin half dollar, and numerous other U.S. Mint items) and Adam Pietz (designer of the Iowa Centennial half dollar and numerous other U.S. Mint items). Both of their hallmarks can be seen on the obverse at the bottom left or right of the stairs.

2008 US Silver Eagle Early releases NGC MS69 ($29.99)
Pretty cool "atta boy/girl " award.
I would think a more generous gift from an employer might be struck in silver or gold. 30 years for bronze ? Cheapskates.
But did they also "enhance the Mint experience" back in 1965?!?!?
that would be a decent score
When I hit 25 years at my company times were bad so I never got my watch.
