Description

This bronze medal, cataloged as J-CM-7, is another entry in the American Revolution commemorative medal family bearing a 1783 date. The "AE" designation confirms the standard bronze composition. The Julian CM-7 represents a distinct die combination within the Revolution medal series, differing from the CM-5, CM-6, and CM-8 variants in design details while sharing the common theme of commemorating American independence. The proliferation of catalog numbers within the Revolution medal series reflects the multiple designs produced over several decades, as both the early U.S. Mint and private die sinkers created medals celebrating the nation's founding. Each Julian CM number represents a unique die combination, though the medals share overlapping themes of liberty, independence, and the military victory that secured them. Collectors of early American medals frequently pursue the complete set of Revolution medal die varieties, making each Julian number a distinct collecting target within the broader Revolutionary commemorative family.
