Description
  • Title: Rare 1620/1870 Pilgrim Jubilee Memorial So-Called Dollar Medal In Original Box
  • Here are the specifications:
  • Description and history: A medal highlighting the celebration year remains one of the finest examples of workmanship for any commemorative medal ever produced. The medals were struck and distributed to those in attendance of the main celebration that was held at the Church of the First Parish in Plymouth. It was designed and likely engraved by two members of the Pilgrim Society, Joseph E. Ellis and Asa C. Warren. Their names flank the ground on the obverse. The medal was struck by Scovill Manufacturing Co, Waterbury, CT. The reverse features that which the Pilgrims (or Puritans) were most committed to — an open Bible. A bird — likely an eagle representing America — is above, with its wings spread in flight (some have suggested it might be a dove). Above these are the words “Whose Faith Follow.” The remarkably complex scene on the obverse is a classic depiction of the landing of the Pilgrims, lifting up a prayer of thanks for a safe voyage. For the design, a distinctly biblical number of 12 figures was chosen — six kneeling, and six standing — and are clustered around William Bradford, whose hands are clasped in prayer. The medals are listed in the So-Called Dollar reference as struck in silver-plated copper (HK-13), copper (HK-14), and brass (HK-15).
