Description
Circa 1920 Washington Before Boston Medal. Fifth Paris Issue. Musante GW-9-P5, Baker-49AG, Julian PR-1. Silver. Cornucopia and ARGENT Edge. SP-61 (PCGS).
68.2 mm. 2341.2 grains. Somewhat dull gray silver with some slightly deeper toning in places. A bit of light handling and a thin, very light scratch are noted in the left obverse field. A reverse edge bump is also seen. While the Paris Mint edge mark suggests a broad vintage of 1880 or later, a fine matte finish points to an early 20th-century production for this piece. In addition, there is an old museum accession number in red ink on the edge, 1920.10.1, which leads one to believe that this might have been acquired new in 1920. A rare medal in silver from any period.
From the Sydney F. Martin Collection.
