Description
Libertas Americana Medal, Copper
AU Details, Betts-615
(1781) MEDAL Libertas Americana Medal, Copper -- Mount Removed
-- NGC Details. AU. Betts-615, Loubat-14. Struck at the Paris
Mint, the Libertas Americana medal commemorates the surrender of
the British armies at Saratoga and Yorktown. It is arguably the
single most famous medal, and it greatly influenced the obverse of
the Liberty Cap half cent and cent. Only 100 to 125 examples in
copper are known today. The present chocolate-brown representative
appears unworn but displays scattered minor to moderate marks. No
mount removal is readily evident, although the edge is obscured by
the NGC holder.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# DRPN, PCGS# 151815, Greysheet# 200006)
