Description

An undated Washington "Success" medal of the large size with a reeded edge. The reeded edge treatment adds a distinctive tactile element and distinguishes this from the plain edge variety. The obverse shows Washington's bust with SUCCESS TO THE UNITED STATES, and the reverse features an eagle. The reeded edge may indicate a different manufacturing run or intended circulation as a token.

Rarity Notes

Scarce. Reeded edge is less common than plain edge for the large size.
