Owner's Description
EVACUATION OF BOSTON, 125th ANNIVERSARY 1901. Reverse of issue below is replica of famous Gold medal given General Washington by Resolution of Continental Congress March 25, 1776; only gold medal ever granted him by Federal Government. One hundred years later, just prior to both Centennial Celebration of Evacuation, Boston and to U.S. Centennial, Philadelphia--1876, 50 Boston citizens subscribed fund to purchase medal from Washington family who finally were induced to act due both "to losses sustained...during... Civil War...and (national) interest...of the centennial." Purchasers immediately presented piece to City of Boston to be "preserved forever in the Boston Public Library." Medal is about 68mm. in size, 2 11/16mm. thick and weighs more than 7 oz. These reproductions were distributed to Boston school children in 1901; struck by Whitehead & Hoag, Newark, NJ.
