George Washington, Siege of Boston Medal, Obv: Washington, right, "Georgio Washington Svpremo Dvci Exercitvvm Adsertori Libertatis", "Comitia Americana" below bust; Rev: Center displays Washington and men on horses, canon/canon balls, river, ships and land, "Hostibus Primo Fucatis", "Bostonium Recuperatum XVII Martii MDCCLXXVI", in exergue; Ae, 68.36mm, 161.08gms, Good EF, edge bumps, by Duvivier. Betts-543, Second Restrike, Paris Mint, (1846-1860). Baker-48G, R.4. Three horse's legs only show under Washington's horse's midsection, and the O in PRIMO is oval, rather than round. Edge-stamped with pointing hand and CUIVRE, as expected. The pointing hand edge-stamp narrows the striking timeframe down to 1846-60.
