1860 So-Called Dollar HK-133, (C.1860) Brandywine/Germantown

Coin Details

Description

George H. Lovett engraved this medal around 1860 for the Connecticut numismatist Alfred S. Robinson, and its reverse announces it as the first of "Alfred S. Robinson's historical series." The obverse is a military bust of Major General Anthony Wayne, turned partly left, with his name above and "born 1745 died 1796" below. The reverse lists four battles across the field, Brandywine, Germantown, Monmouth and Stony Point, under an arc of eleven stars, the whole enclosed by a closed wreath that runs close to the beaded border. HK-133 is the silver striking, 35 mm. Robinson's second labeled entry honored Robert Fulton; his pieces portraying Jackson, Clay, Van Buren and Washington carry no series label, and none of them marks a battle. Copper, brass, tin and silver-plated brass versions follow as HK-133a to HK-133d.
