No Date Silver Medal J-PE-37, Daniel Webster

Coin Details

Description

This undated silver medal cataloged as Julian PE-37 honors Daniel Webster, the legendary orator, senator, and Secretary of State who dominated American politics in the first half of the nineteenth century. Webster's defense of the Union — encapsulated in his famous reply to Senator Hayne in 1830 ("Liberty and Union, now and forever, one and inseparable!") — made him one of the most quoted speakers in American history. The Julian PE-37 designation identifies this as a Mint and Treasury medal in the standard reference catalog. The production of commemorative medals in America spans from colonial-era pieces struck in European workshops to modern issues produced with twenty-first century digital design technology and advanced minting equipment. Webster served as Secretary of State under three presidents and was the principal negotiator of the Webster-Ashburton Treaty that settled the U.S.-Canadian border.
