Washington crossing the Delaware on the reverse: Washington & Mt Vernon on the reverse: Adaptation of the Washington before Boston medal on the obverse:
Washington and his beloved friend Lafayette on obverse. Yorktown surrender scene on reverse. Minted in 1881. "Yorktown Surrender Centennial medal". Baker 452C, white metal, 50.90mm(somewhat larger than a silver dollar and in high relief especially the obverse).
Doesn't the obverse look like a US commerative coin that was made years later?
Advanced collector of BREWERIANA. Early beer advertising (beer cans, tap knobs, foam scrapers, trays, tin signs, lithos, paper, etc)....My first love...U.S. COINS!
George Washington died before his time from the quack treatment of bleeding. It was thaught to rid the body of poison. Jefferson and Adams died the same way on July 4, 1826. Both men were bled to death on orders to their own caretakers.
