Bronze 65mm by Charles Cushing Wright (1796-1854) modeled from a portrait by Robert Ball Hughes (1806-1868). This was the 3rd & last medal in the First American Medal Series to be struck in America by the U.S. Mint. The medals were designed by Peter Paul Duggan (c1800-1861). Being issued as part of a lottery the anti-lottery laws put an end to this series of medals, which, judging by the artistry of this medal is a shame. Mark Stilson's Drop Hammer minted medallion This Medallion is minted by a drop hammer. Face is the "Greenman" and reverse is an Celtic cross. The Celtic cross show signs of a clashed die. Minted in .925 silver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ætheling Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 The high relief is great but I went with the other, the pattern is pretty neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
