(Not to be confused with the Congressional Medal of Honor, which is a Military Honor!)
As of April 4, 2019, 163 institutions, people, or events have been awarded a Congressional Gold Medal.
Since the American Revolution, Congress has commissioned gold medals as its highest expression of national appreciation for distinguished achievements and contributions. The medal was first awarded in 1776 by the Second Continental Congress to General George Washington.

THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS MADE CAPTAIN ARTHUR H ROSTRON, IT'S 37TH GOLD MEDAL AWARDEE ON JULY 6, 1912, HOWEVER, THE MEDAL WAS NOT PRESENTED TO ROSTRON UNTIL MARCH 1913, BY PRESIDENT TAFT AT THE WHITE HOUSE. IT NOW RESIDES IN THE MARITIME MUSEUM (LIVERPOOL.)
