George III Indian Peace Medal. 1814. Largest size. Adams 12.1; census specimen 37. About Uncirculated. Prooflike. Copper, bronzed. 75.5mm. 2,805.8 gns. Thick. Obverse signed T.WYON.JUN:S:. Laureate, mantled bust right of George III (Obverse 1); grand royal Arms (Reverse A). No loop. No hole. Rich mahogany and brown, lighter at the base of the reverse. Old stain in the right obverse field. Serious reverse edge bruise at 8:45. Edge stamped '238'. Clearly a restrike with little to do with Indians but nevertheless quite rare compared to the silver medals from the same dies. Adams lists several of these but most seem to be in institutional holdings.
Ex A.H. Baldwin & Sons, Ltd. on July 2, 1971.
