Description

This bronze medal at 33mm diameter, cataloged as TC-286144, is a Peace and Friendship medal produced during the 1970s. The TC catalog designation refers to the token and medal catalog system. The Peace and Friendship design — featuring clasped hands beneath a tomahawk and peace pipe — is one of the most iconic motifs in American medallic art, originally appearing on the reverses of Indian Peace Medals from the late eighteenth through mid-nineteenth centuries. This 33mm bronze version is a generic or non-presidential version of the Peace and Friendship design, produced as a collector piece or commemorative item without a specific presidential portrait on the obverse. The design has become a symbol of American diplomatic tradition and is one of the most recognizable images in American numismatic art, reproduced in countless formats from the original silver presentation medals to modern bronze collector pieces like this one.
