Owner Comments:

This gilt version of the Huyler's token does not appear to be listed in Hendershott, hence NGC has added a new sub-type designation of H-61-141. The token weighs 11.03g, which is lighter than my known copper versions (at 11.31g), so I think this may be a gilt version of H-61-180, which is copper over white metal.

Krueger does, however list a copper-gilt variety, as Krueger-329.

Obverse - Napoleon, Jefferson and Roosevelt.

Reverse is either 3 members of the Huyler's family (per Eglit), or David R. Francis (Expo President), Adolphus Busch (Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee) and Charles H. Huttig, Chairman of the Comm. on States and Territories (per Eidlitz. R.J. - Medals relating to Thomas Jefferson, The Numismatist, 1924).
