Description

Four Revolutionary War battles are lettered across the reverse of HK-133a: Brandywine, Germantown, Monmouth and Stony Point, all fights in which Anthony Wayne served, with eleven stars arching above them. Wayne himself appears on the obverse, a military bust turned partly left and titled "Major General Anthony Wayne," with his years of birth and death, 1745 and 1796, below. The medal is a private one, engraved by George H. Lovett around 1860 for Alfred S. Robinson of Connecticut and marked in small letters as number one of Robinson's historical series. HK-133a is the silver-plated brass striking, 35 mm. The same dies were used in silver (HK-133), copper (HK-133b), brass (HK-133c) and tin (HK-133d). Wayne also heads Hibler and Kappen's 1879 Stony Point centennial medal, HK-122.
