George III bronze "Indian Peace" Medal 1814 MS64 Brown NGC, BHM-844 (RR), Jamieson-14, Adams-12.1. By Thomas Wyon Jr. 75mm. Accompanied by a Hedley Betts: Medals of the World auction tag. An extraordinary piece of British-American history embodied as a Medal, produced by British forces for presentation to Native American chiefs who allied with them during the War of 1812. Such Medals were tokens of gratitude and symbols of alliance, representing a significant chapter in the complex relationships among British forces, Native American tribes, and the emerging United States. This particular Medal is not only a testament to the alliances formed during this tumultuous period, but also serves as a direct link to the last significant conflict between the United States and Britain. The NGC Population Guide reveals that this is offering is one of only two examples to be certified by NGC, with none being located at PCGS. Furthermore, the last handful of this issue to come to market have been in silver, fortifying it as no doubt a rare and sought-after piece.
