76mm.
An attractive example of a large, early, high-relief medallic depiction of Washington. Published by the Enlightenment Quaker radical Daniel Eccleston, the medal's namesake, and struck from dies prepared by Thomas Webb, the Eccleston Medal posthumously celebrates Washington's political and military achievements tempered with a backhanded reference to the United States' settler-colonial origins.
Pretty, even light brown coloration. Small rim hits around 6 to 7 o'clock on the obverse, a few scattered marks on the reverse rim, none of which significantly diminishes its overall appearance. Some dark spotting and pitting on both sides.Early American History Auctions, Inc., Mail Bid Auction, Autographs, Coins, Currency, Americana, December 11th, 1999, Lot #35.
