1814-Dated Great Britain Peace Medal, Silver, Jamieson-24, AU58
NGC. McLachlan-CCXCVIII, Leroux-838, Breton-19, Eimer-1061b,
Adams 12.1. 76 mm. With the original suspension loop intact. This
is the plate-medal in the Jamieson reference. Pleasing light gray
surfaces show a few areas of faint bluish toning. Trivial marks and
hairlines are scattered over both sides of this nicely detailed
medal that has a trace of high-point rub. The 1814 peace medals
featuring the imposing figure of an aging King George were
apparently handed out readily. John W. Adams (1999) cites a Captain
Bulger, commander at Green Bay, as writing in 1815: "formerly a
chief would have parted with his life rather than his medal. Now
very few think it worth preserving." These medals may have been
distributed in large quantities, but few remain, serving tangible
artifacts of the British-Indigenous alliance.Ex: Warren Baker (8/17/1982); Donald G. Partrick.
