<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coinrealm, post: 2256559, member: 76025&quot;]Thank you for the only coherent response so far. Every one is so quick to dismiss such a fascinating find when it is not theirs. Funny you mention British standards because the original design of this medal was actually approved by King George before it was officially struck by Richardson. There is literally about 2 paragraphs in American history relating to this coin, I think has deeper British roots than American collectors would like to think. I just dug up an article that touched base on this medal and it states that King George II supplied this design to tribal leaders in South Africa as well as native Americans. With that being said, if it is true, there would have had to been dies cut in England as well for this medal. This would explain the absence of the council fire and the peace pipe. South African tribal leaders would not have associated the peace pipe or council fire, it would have confused them, its a Native American tradition with no meaning in Africa[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
