Julian IP-1 type. 20th Century Mint Restrike. 76 mm. Largest Size. Struck at the United States Mint in Philadelphia. The original obverse die for the John Adams Indian Peace Medal was engraved by Moritz Furst in the 1820’s in 51 mm size. This satiny surface example with a deep golden color.
The smaller Adams peace medal (51mm) was the only John Adams medal available to collectors until about 1905 when a three inch die was prepared so that an Adams medal could be sold to the public in the same size as all other presidential and Indian Peace Medals. With this dark brown patina, it is highly probable that this medal was struck in the earliest part of the last century.
