Description

Maj. Gen. J. Stark and Col. Seth Warner, the commanders at Bennington, face out from twin circles on the obverse of HK-152, an eagle above them and a shield with berried leaves below. The legend around the top recalls the Battle of Bennington, fought August 16, 1777, and the line at the bottom notes Vermont's admission to the Union on March 4, 1791. The reverse is the monument itself, lettered "Bennington battle monument" with "Dedicated" and "Aug. 19. 1891" on either side. William H. Warner, a Philadelphia medalist, struck it. Hibler and Kappen list the design in brass, this piece, then bronze (HK-152a), white metal (HK-153) and aluminum (HK-153a). Brass, 38 mm.
