1854 (1855) Commander Duncan Imgraham / Rescue of Martin Koszta. Original Large Size. Bronzed Copper. 102 mm. Julian NA-26. MS-64 BN (NGC).Satiny Choice surfaces are warmly and evenly toned in rich copper-rose patina. The surfaces are free of all but a few trivial carbon flecks, the most prominent of which is well concealed between the letters TR in AUSTRIAN in the obverse exergue. It is an impressive medal with tremendous eye appeal.<p>In the harbor of Smyrna, Turkey, Commander Duncan Ingraham threatened to open fire on the Austrian brig of war <em>Hussar</em> to force the release of captured Hungarian revolutionary Martin Koszta, who had proclaimed his intention to seek asylum and citizenship in the United States. The obverse of the medal depicts the confrontation between the two naval vessels. The reverse bears the tribute of the American president and Congress to Ingrahams "gallant and judicious conduct" in rescuing Koszta at gunpoint. An interesting counterpoint to news stories concerning people seeking asylum in the United States today.
