Owner Comments:

This medal honors Major General Anthony Wayne of the Continental Army on its obverse and commemorates the Revolutionary War Battles of Brandywine, Germantown, Monmouth and Stony Point on its reverse, all of which Wayne commanded. At the Battle of Stony Point Wayne led a daring nighttime bayonet attack against the British which resulted in about 550 British prisoners taken. Wayne received a medal from the Continental Congress for his victory and earned the nickname ‘Mad Anthony’ from his men as a term of endearment for his bravery. This medal is made of brass and is 1 of only 8 that NGC has graded. At MS-64 (3/0) it is a top pop example. The overall rarity is R6 (21-75 known).
