Description
"1819" Series Numismatica Medal. First Issue. By Vivier. Musante GW-98, Baker-132. Bronze. MS-66 BN (NGC).
41 mm. The edge is not visible through the NGC holder, and its style is not noted on the insert. We have identified several die combinations of this attribution in recent years, although the present example matches the dies pictured in the Musante reference. This is a richly original, evenly toned example with a smooth, frosty texture that includes modest hints of semi-reflectivity in the fields. A lovely Gem specimen of this early entry into the expansive Series Numismatica, medals that celebrated over 150 famous persons. As a group, they are generally considered common, but this attractive Washington portrait piece is among the most desired in the entire series.
