Description
"1783" (1914) General Society of the Cincinnati Triennial Meeting at Baltimore Medal. Baker U-345. Bronze. MS-64 (NGC).
51 mm. A handsome golden-bronze example with subtle pale orange and antique gold colors evident as the surfaces rotate under a light. Sharply struck. Examples of this type were made by Whitehead & Hoag and distributed to each general officer, delegate and alternate at the triennial meeting of the General Society of the Cincinnati at Baltimore in 1914 - for a distribution of approximately 125 medals, with a few others presented to museums. The design was originally prepared by Major Pierre C. L'Enfant in 1783 for use on a medal, although it was not put into production at that time.
