    George II "Indian Peace" medallion

    This one has been dug from the ground and cleaned, but still dropped my jaw to the floor when I pulled it. Click here to enlarge

    Made of brass, measures right around 24.5mm and weighs 66.5 grains.


    Have been trying to come up with a possible value, but have not seen any auction records more recent than 2006 (and none of those were dug/cleaned like mine). I'm sure more records are out there, will keep looking.

    I'd say it is almost certainly a fake. The workmanship is very crude, and the indian peace medals I have seen are not crude (Except for the first American ones) George II used silver medals not copper. And your medal has an obv claiming to be George II, but the reverse is that of George I's medals. George II had the royal arms for the reverse of his medal. There are also silver and bronze peace medals made with George II's bust on them made for the Quakers to present to the indians. These had a seated Indian and European on the reverse with a peace pipe.

    Sorry to correct you conder, but mine is the same type as these 7 from a 2006 Stack's auction. They are described as Jamieson figure 5 and Betts 167. Only mine is rougher due to being dug and scrubbed clean.
