1909 Medal B-754 Honeycutt-90 Ae

Coin Details

Description

This 1909 bronze medal is cataloged in two reference systems as both Betts-754 and Honeycutt-90, providing dual authentication and classification. The Betts reference, while primarily covering earlier colonial-era medals, occasionally extends to later commemorative pieces related to American territorial history. The Honeycutt-90 designation places it firmly within the Philippine medal series. The 1909 date corresponds to a period of significant political development in the Philippines under American sovereignty, including debates over Philippine independence and the implementation of the Philippine Commission's administrative programs. Bronze (Ae) composition indicates a standard production piece rather than a presentation striking. The dual catalog listing in both Betts and Honeycutt makes this medal a crossover collectible appealing to both colonial medal specialists and Philippine numismatic historians.
