James Buchanan Indian Peace Medal Large Size In Bronze

Julian IP-36. Belden-50. 76mm. This is the largest size Buchanan Indian Peace Medal. It shows a Native American Indian and a Soldier with an American flag and ax between, as the reverse design. The obverse die was engraved by Salathiel Ellis, and the reverse die is by Joseph Willson (a design also used on Pierce and Fillmore medals). This medal has a high-relief obverse profile strike of James Buchanan. It has beautiful, smooth natural golden-brass color, indicative of a quite modern made specimen typically available for sale to collectors from the US Mint.
