Circa 1776-1820 George III Indian Peace Medal, XF40
Largest Size, Jamieson-18
Undated (Circa 1776-1820) Great Britain George III Peace Medal,
Silver, Jamieson-18, XF40 NGC. McLachlan-CCXCIII, Betts-438,
Leroux-832, Breton-10, Adams 7.3. 75 mm. It is believed that
roughly 2,000 to 3,125 large-size undated George III Indian peace
medals of this type were distributed between 1776 through the first
quarter of the 19th century and possibly even into the reign of
King William IV. However, most have been lost, either buried with
their recipients, traded for other assets, converted to "gorgets
and armlets," as McLachlan noted in 1886, or otherwise. John W.
Adams (1999) proposes a survivorship of perhaps 250 examples,
consisting of three known varieties. Adams 7.3 (Jamieson-18)
features his Obverse 3 (seven rivets above the sash) paired with
Reverse B (lion's paw above I in HONI). This example is well-worn,
slightly porous, and mostly steel-gray but with evidence of gilding
around the obverse rim and over the central reverse. Rather than
bright or excessively high-grade, this XF40 representative, which
is pierced but missing its hanger, appears to have been genuinely
distributed and proudly handled for many years.Ex: Kurt Krueger (6/1983), lot 4226; Anthony Terranova; Donald G. Partrick.
