Circa 1714 George I Indian Peace Medal, VF35
Jamieson-2, Silvered Brass, Early Fur Trade Relic
Undated (Circa 1714) Great Britain Peace Medal, Jamieson-2,
Silvered Brass, VF35 NGC. Betts-163, Eimer-472. 40mm. In his
definitive article on the subject, "The Indian Peace Medals of King
George I," published in the 1988 Coinage of the Americas Conference
compendium, The Medal in America, Ebenezer Nii Quarcoopome
argues that these George I medals were privately commissioned by
Pennsylvania scholar and statesman James Logan, who entered into
the Philadelphia fur trade and wholesale business in 1714, for
distribution to Native American trading partners and allies. This
example corresponds to Quarcoopome's Type Two design, pairing
Obverse 2 with Reverse C. The unidentified engraver's initials T.C.
appear on the bust truncation, and the tree has four branches. This
strongly defined survivor features a clear portrait and legend on
the obverse. The Native American holding a crossbow is distinct, as
is his targeted stag. Golden-brown surfaces exhibit traces of
original silvering and are not heavily corroded. A small
indentation appears at 12 o'clock where an original hanger would
have been.Ex: Donald G. Partrick.
