1860 HK-133b, Maj. Gen. Anthony Wayne Dollar

Coin Details

Description

Anthony Wayne, born in 1745 and dead by 1796, faces partly left in uniform on the obverse of this copper medal, named around the top as Major General Anthony Wayne and dated below the bust by his birth and death. It was cut by George H. Lovett around 1860 as No. 1 of the historical series issued by Alfred S. Robinson, a numismatist from Connecticut, and the reverse credits Robinson in small letters near the bottom. That side lists Wayne's battles in four lines, Brandywine, Germantown, Monmouth and Stony Point, beneath eleven stars, all inside a closed wreath set close to the beaded rim. HK-133b is the copper striking, 35 mm. The group runs to five metals: silver (HK-133), silver-plated brass (HK-133a), copper, brass (HK-133c) and tin (HK-133d). Hibler and Kappen date it only approximately, to about 1860.
