Description
This circa 1867 silver medal with thin planchet, cataloged as JAB-27, is the silver version of Bolen's Andrew Jackson "Old Soldier" portrait. The thin planchet specification indicates standard silver thickness, distinguishing it from any potential thick planchet variant. Silver Jackson medals by Bolen are among the scarcer pieces in the presidential portrait group, with production limited to fewer than fifteen examples. The combination of a popular presidential subject with precious metal composition and extremely limited mintage makes silver JAB-27 a significant piece for serious Bolen collectors. Jackson's military career and forceful personality made him a compelling subject for medallic portraiture, and Bolen's rendering captures the general's characteristic intensity in miniature form.
Rarity Notes
JAB-27, silver, thin planchet. Very scarce precious metal version. Fewer than 15 struck.
