1876 U.S. Centennial Medal. Julian-CM-11. NGC graded MS-65 Brown. Bronze, 58 mm. The large format of this very popular type. Designed by William Barber, about 7,000 of these large bronze medals were struck. The reverse design of rising Liberty with unsheathed sword was one of the iconic pattern of the whole series, and therefore makes the relatively low mintage medal highly sought after. An example in this high grade is always highly sought after by collectors. Pop 4; 1 finer in 67.
