Description
1914 Society of the Cincinnati Triennial Meeting Medal. Musante GW-Unlisted, Baker U-345. Bronze. MS-64 (PCGS).
50.7 mm. Light golden bronze with an antiqued finish, finely matte surfaces and soft luster. Only the most trivial handling is noted. Accompanied by the original white cardboard box of issue, with a cover label printed in pale blue. A slight separation is noted in the box base, and the label edge is chipped slightly, but it is intact otherwise. According to the entry in the Rulau-Fuld revision of Medallic Portraits, one of these medals was presented to "each general officer, delegate and alternate at the triennial meeting of the General Society of the Cincinnati at Baltimore" and the design was taken from a 1783-vintage proposal for a medal that was never struck at the time.
From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Purchased from Stan Steinberg, January 2007.
