1783 Treaty of Versailles, Peace of Paris Medal. White Metal with Copper Plug. 43 mm. By J. Reich. Betts-610, Eimer-804, BHM-255. MS-62 (NGC).;Silvery pearl gray surfaces support devices that display a cameo appearance against the more reflective fields. This medal is one of the busiest and most symbolism-rich entries in the Betts series, and depicts America, holding a Liberty cap and pole and supporting a 13-striped shield at her feet, shaking hands with a laurel-holding Europe, surrounded by the shields of Germany, France, England and Spain. In the background at 9 oclock and 3 oclock, the sieges at Port Mahon and Gibraltar are depicted, while at 12 oclock the Eye of Providence oversees the whole scene. On the reverse, Peace and Plenty puts her foot atop Mars, the warrior, while Fame heralds "Etat Pax" or a state of peace above. The dies were accomplished by Johann Matthias Reich, whose son and namesake would one day redesign the coins of the newborn nation this medal celebrated.;Ex: Eric P.
