(1876) Bronzed Medal GW-884, White Metal Moore's Creek Bridge

Coin Details

Description

This bronzed white metal medal cataloged as GW-884 commemorates the Battle of Moore's Creek Bridge, produced circa 1876 as part of a centennial series documenting Revolutionary War battles. The Battle of Moore's Creek Bridge, fought on February 27, 1776, in North Carolina, was a decisive early Patriot victory over a force of Highland Scots Loyalists that effectively ended royal authority in the colony. The bronzed white metal finish — a white metal core with a bronze-colored surface treatment — creates an appearance simulating solid bronze at a fraction of the weight and cost. This battle medal belongs to a numbered centennial series (GW-884 through GW-891 and beyond) depicting specific Revolutionary War engagements, providing collectors with a comprehensive medallic history of the war. The Moore's Creek Bridge medal represents one of the lesser-known but strategically significant early battles that laid the groundwork for the Declaration of Independence.
