3-Inch medal honoring Henry Clay, the "Eloquent Defender". It's a sturdy, 8.5 ounces and struck in brown metal. (Julian PE 8) medal sculptured by Charles Cushing Wright. Never restruck in later times. It's in its original deep brown. Comes with its orginal presentation case.

I've been attracted to the medals cataloged in Julian, but you can't collect everything.
They have also gone up quite a bit in recent years. With mintages that often did not reach 100 pieces, it does not take much of an increase in demand to boost prices.
