<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 978674, member: 24633&quot;]I have this medal which was authorized by Congress and struck at the US Mint on behalf of the US Capitol Historical Society. It was struck in silver with a plain edge and is 38mm in diameter. The obverse portrays George Washington standing at Valley Forge leaning on his sword. The reverse depicts the York Court House which served as the nation&#039;s first &quot;Capitol building&quot; where the Constitution was drafted. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>According to the booklet that accompanies the medal, it was supposed to be the first of a 13-year series of national medals commemorating important documents, historic events and personalities that enabled us to become the United States.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;ve searched the internet, and I can&#039;t find any more information about this series. I even checked the US Capitol Historical Society website, and the only medal that they show relating to this is a 3&quot; bronze medal of the identical design. Does anyone know if this 13-year program was ever completed? Any information would be very much appreciated.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thanks!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
