<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MIGuy, post: 8639598, member: 116145&quot;]I am not familiar, but hopefully one of our medal specialists will chime in, I did look up the Battle of Thames - which took place in Canada during the War of 1812 - from the interwebs, &quot;The Battle of the Thames, also known as the Battle of Moraviantown, was an American victory in the War of 1812 against Tecumseh&#039;s Confederacy and their British allies. It took place on October 5, 1813, in Upper Canada, near Chatham.&quot;&nbsp; I like the subject matter / ships and age.&nbsp; Condition is above average.&nbsp; I especially like the reverse of the Thames / Harrison (later President) medal which, like the 3 cent Feuchtwanger (State of NY seal) features a kind of space alien looking character (probably Tecumseh or a Shawnee warrior).&nbsp; Also note, Tecumseh&#039;s death in battle, at the Battle of Thames, led to the breakup of the multi-tribe Indian Confederacy army he led and was a significant contributing factor, accordingly, in the eventual loss of the war by their allies, the British.&nbsp; A google search indicates what appears to be a German Silver holed version of this medal sold for $425 by jkamericana so it may have more value than you might think.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
