Description
Mint State 1850 Fillmore Peace Medal, First Size
1850 Millard Fillmore Indian Peace Medal, First Size, Julian-IP-30, Mint State Uncertified. Bronzed copper, 76 mm, rim 7 mm, 207.7 gm. Signed obverse by Salathiel Ellis (signed S. ELLIS), reverse by Joseph Willson (signed J. WILLSON). The Fillmore administration departed from the longstanding precedent of the PEACE AND FRIENDSHIP medal reverse with clasped hands, pipe, and tomahawk, in favor of the new reverse designed by Willson, on which a settler instructs a Native American at right, with a large U.S. flag behind and LABOR, VIRTUE, HONOR above. The present brick-red piece shows considerable mint luster remaining, but some carbon flecks are noted on each side, including a largish spot on the highpoint of the president's cheek. The Ford piece, Uncirculated (Stack's, Part XVIII, 5/2007, lot 134), brought $920.Auction Info
