The first 2 are the large bronzes and the third is the smaller bronze. The last is the 3&quot; Ancient Greece medal. btw, all the medals are in extreme high relief which makes them even more desirable in mint condition.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ted Roosevelt/Charles Barber:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e65/simrete/tedobv.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e65/simrete/tedrev.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Christian Gobrecht:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e65/simrete/eagleobv.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e65/simrete/eaglerev.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This is the smaller bronze of the Morgan/Longacre medal. As you can see, the reverse is different from the 3&quot; medal, it has the Gobrecht eagle on it . I have both the one you have and this one, which is more difficult to obtain than the 3&quot; bronze:</p><p><img src="http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e65/simrete/faobv.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e65/simrete/farev2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>400 BC DECADRACHM (GREECE) VICTORY MEDAL:</p><p><img src="http://pics.ebaystatic.com/aw/pics/s.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><font face="Arial"><font size="2">This medal was issued to recognize and honor Euaenetos, an artist of the highest skill in ancient Greece. Euenetos was commissioned to make the decadrachm, a silver piece of ten-drachms to commemorate the Syracusan victory over the invading Athenian forces about 400 BC. The original coins were presented to warriors and others who had a part in the victory and later to winners in athletic contests.</font></font></p><p><font face="Arial"><font size="2">The obverse of this medal depicts the victorious chariot quadriga with the driver receiving his award garland. The reverse shows a symbolic ancient temple dedicated to Euaenetos in recognition of his artistry in design and execution of the original coin.</font></font></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e65/simrete/Greeceobv.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e65/simrete/Greecerev.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
