Description

The undated medal Baker-C396 in bronzed copper with hole features Independence Hall. The holed format indicates this was intended as a wearable badge or pendant, while the bronzed copper finish provided a dignified dark-brown appearance. Independence Hall was the most frequently depicted building on Washington-era commemorative medals, symbolizing the birthplace of American self-governance. Baker-C396 is a supplemental catalog entry. The combination of bronzed copper composition and holed format indicates this was a presentation-quality wearable piece, produced for a patriotic organization or historical society. Undated Independence Hall medals with Washington associations form a substantial portion of the Baker catalog, reflecting the enduring symbolic power of the building where the Declaration and Constitution were adopted.
