1783 Washington Georgivs Triumpho Token. Musante GW-54, Baker-7, W-10100. AU-53 (PCGS). A nicely centered, well struck example with bold to sharp detail in virtually all areas. Microroughness is largely in the planchet, the surfaces generally hard with no sizeable blemishes and some light frost seen in the fields. Handsome chestnut brown patina with steel-olive peripheral highlights. The design of this type remains somewhat enigmatic, though the fleur-de-lis decorated basket in which Britannia sits is now thought to be that of a hot air balloon - this theory suggested as the first hot air balloon made its ascent in September 1783, the same month in which the Treaty of Paris was signed, marking the official end of the Revolutionary War. Provenance: From the Emerald Coast Collection. PCGS# 664. NGC ID: 2B6K. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
