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

Coin Details

Description

Tin is the softest of the five metals in which Alfred S. Robinson's Anthony Wayne medal was struck around 1860, and HK-133d is that striking, 35 mm. The dies, by George H. Lovett, give the obverse to a military bust of Wayne facing partly left, titled as a major general and dated with his birth in 1745 and death in 1796, all within a beaded border. On the reverse a closed wreath runs just inside the rim, eleven stars follow the upper edge, and four battle names, Brandywine, Germantown, Monmouth and Stony Point, are set across the center, with Robinson's credit as the first of his historical series in small letters below. The other strikings are silver (HK-133), silver-plated brass (HK-133a), copper (HK-133b) and brass (HK-133c). Hibler and Kappen place the medal with the Revolutionary War issues because it honors Wayne's battles.
