Description
This reverse die trial is catalogued as JK-AC-63, the Julian-Keusch number for the 1919 United States Assay Commission medal. Die trials of medals follow the same principle as coin die trials: a test impression is taken from a finished die to verify its quality before committing to a full production run. Medal dies often featured more intricate and higher-relief designs than circulating coinage, making die testing particularly important to ensure that fine details would transfer cleanly to the finished product. The 1919 Assay Commission medal, by George T. Morgan and John R. Sinnock, is a 51 mm bronze medal with Woodrow Wilson on the obverse and Mercury on the reverse.
