Owner Comments:

This historically significant medal was struck in bronze by the U.S. mint in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Lexington. It is one of two hundred that were made and sold for $1 each at the time. Its surfaces are sharply struck, very clean, and exhibit beautiful color. Its luster is still quite nice for a piece that is nearly one hundred and fifty years old. It is an exquisite example of 19th century medal craftsmanship and is one of only three examples that have made the top pop grade of MS-66 at NGC. The overall rarity is R5 (76-200 known).
