<p>[QUOTE="Joshua Lemons, post: 8080030, member: 82388"]I've spent some time trying to track down a Cuban medalist. No luck. But, Charles Barber designed much of Cuba's coinage in the early 1900's and 1910's before his death The designs carried over until the mid 1930's. Cuban coins were also minted at the Philadelphia mint, the pesos interestingly on the same blanks as peace dollars. Now, I saw several Barber medals unsigned but attributed to him. The following engraver, George T. Morgan had medals as well, but most of them I saw were signed. Following him was Sinnock, who designed the Roosevelt dime and Franklin half, but of note many of his medals were unsigned and featured liberty and women in long dresses. Either way, I have a sneaking hunch that the medals origins lie within the U.S. mint and it's designers/engravers, but which one it would be, I don't know. Likely not Barber for this medal as he died in 1917.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
