Coin Details
Description
At Bennington on August 16, 1777, Burgoyne's army met its first defeat on its march south from Canada to cut New England off from the other colonies, and the Stark-Warner medal recalls the battle and the 1891 dedication of its monument. HK-153 is the white metal striking. Its obverse portrays the two American commanders, Maj. Gen. J. Stark and Col. Seth Warner, in a pair of circles beneath an eagle, while the reverse gives the monument with its dedication date of August 19. Vermont's centennial had first been observed by the legislature at Montpelier on March 4, 1891, the exact anniversary. William H. Warner of Philadelphia struck the medal; an aluminum version is HK-153a. White metal, 38 mm.
