An overall boldly defined example of this particularly popular type among early Washington medals. Predominantly deep golden-brown in tone, the surfaces also exhibit darker charcoal outlines to the devices, much of which is associated with light surface scale. Light to moderate high point rub is noted for accuracy, as are a few minor marks both over the central devices and in the fields.

The dies for this type were prepared in the early 19th century by Thomas Halliday of Birmingham, England.,,,
