1818 Major General William Henry Harrison Medal. Bronze. 65 mm. Julian MI-14. MS-64BN (NGC).，Light mahogany bronze with flecks of deep tan mingled through the surfaces. Beautifully struck with sharp satiny devices and exceptional eye appeal. Just a few minor marks, though none is individually distracting. According to Julian, the future President took exception to the reverse design of the medal, preferring a battle scene instead of that proposed. He was overruled by Judge Hopkinson at the War Department, and the gold medal was struck in May 1824. Likely the original dies, but struck later in the 19th century.Donated by Stanley DeForest Scott to benefit the endowment campaign for the Executive Director position at the American Numismatic Society.
