<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CheetahCats, post: 887353, member: 23874&quot;]Pictured is a Georgius Triumpho Copper. I acquired it the other day, and have just have gotten around to diagnostics and photographing.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Of the many Washington copper pieces that are dated in and around this time period, it is theorized that very few were actually minted during this time period.&nbsp; The Georgius Triumpho is one of them that is believed to have been.</p><p><br /></p><p>Debate exists as to whether the Georgius Triumpho was actually minted in honor of George Washington, or rather if it was minted in honor of George III.&nbsp; Speculations abound, most scholars familiar with this coin believe that it was produced in honor of George Washington.&nbsp; The gate depicted on the reverse has 13 vertical bars.&nbsp; And indeed, these same folks believe that the 4 cirquefoils at each corner of the gate represent France, which aided the original colonies to gain independence.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As always, any comments and thoughts about it are appreciated and&nbsp; welcomed!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thanks, kindly</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>CheetahCats[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
