<B>1854 Life Saving Medal.</B></I> Julian LS-12. Bronze, 75 mm, 259.9 gm. Dies by T.B. Welsh. A stunning medal in terms of artistic beauty, state of preservation, and impressive size. The obverse of this Philadelphia Mint issue features an attractive allegorical scene in high relief. The purpose of the medal, for saving passengers from the wreck of the steamer <I>San Francisco </B></I>in January 1854, is detailed on the reverse. Rich mahogany coloration throughout adds to the aesthetic qualities of this glossy Gem. The medal is one of the original 53 copper-bronze issued by the US mint. The box that comes with the medal is NOT the original one issued with this medal.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
