Circa 1876 Danish medal. Let Us Have Peace obverse. Musante GW-933, Baker-427B, var. White Metal, Gilt. SP-62 (PCGS).52.7 mm. Pale yellow gold surfaces with some deeper toning in the recesses and small areas of dark pesting that have come through the light, apparently post-striking gilding. Gilt white metal is not listed by Musante, but this piece is mentioned as a cast. We see no evidence that this is cast, as the slightly satin finish can be attributed to the surfacing. There is no loss of diameter frequently associated with casts. and extremely fine striking details are clearly present, details too fine to have transferred to a cast.Ex William Spohn Baker Collection, to the Historical Society of Pennsylvania by bequest, November 15, 1897.
