<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hiddendragon, post: 897350, member: 25270&quot;]I got these two medals today without knowing what they are just because I like them. What I can figure out is they are copies of original medals made in the era of the American Revolution. One has George Washington and seems to celebrate the battle of Cowpens. The other has Henry Lee and celebrates the battle of Paulus Hook. I found a wikipedia page for Henry Lee that mentions he was awarded this medal by Congress after that battle. I found someone listing the Washington medal on eBay and they claim it is pewter and &quot;very rare,&quot; but people on eBay say everything is rare. The back sides just have the story behind the medal (in Latin). The obverse of Washington says &quot;Gulielmo Washington Legionis Equit Praefecto&quot; and at the bottom &quot;Comitia American.&quot; Henry Lee says &quot;Henrico Lee Legionis Equit Praefecto&quot; and at the bottom &quot;Comitia Americana.&quot; I&#039;m just curious when these were made and who made them and if they are worth anything (probably not).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
