Here’s a recent addition to my collection that I got for my birthday, and has quickly become a favourite.
Beautiful coin.
Probably a silly question, but is it bronze or silver?
thanks! and yeah, it's bronze (the abbreviation 'AE' in the description tells us)
So interesting and great detective work!
Amazing provenance! I’d love to get one going back to the 1800s someday, my oldest is 1932.
I'm also admittedly very jealous of your Boston MFA provenance, so awesome.
cheers, interested in finding some other neat provenances to add too (especially those with great stories, or involving well-known figures) - they just add so much to the appeal of a coin, in my opinion. good luck on your search! 🍀
What a great history. Absolutely love it and a beautiful coin too!
