This large 3" (77mm) size Peace Medal depicts a bust of the youthful King George III in cuirassiers armor on the front and the British crest on the other side. It is generally believed that this undated large size is the earliest type presented during the Revolutionary War to only the most important Indian Chief Allies of the British between New York and what became known as the Northwest Territories. These were struck from one solid piece of silver and they have an integral fluted border. The medal is pierced at the 12 o'clock position and retains its original cast silver hanger. The front depicts King George III in high relief and great detail. The ribbon is complete showing no die break, as can be found on later examples. There are 7 rivets above the ribbon and one below. Around the edge in block letters "GEORGIOUS III DEI GRATIA". The opposite side shows the Royal Coat of Arms. Original specimens in this condition are very scarce. These piece medals were presented in various sizes and configurations between the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. CONDITION: Medal shows a mostly bright surface with scattered minor scratches and marks on high relief areas and dark patina in low or protected areas. A very historic and authentic early Indian peace medal. DMG Name Value Paperwork Internet Printouts
