## Summary

**Honors Muhammad Ali with a posthumous Congressional Gold Medal** by directing the Secretary of the Treasury to strike a gold medal and arrange its presentation to his family. The Secretary would determine the medal's design. After the presentation the gold medal would be given to his wife, Lonnie Ali. The bill would authorize the Secretary to strike and sell bronze duplicates at prices that cover production costs. Medals struck under the bill are designated national medals and treated as numismatic items. The U.S. Mint Public Enterprise Fund may be charged for medal costs and must receive proceeds from duplicate sales.
