From Wikipedia

“By the 1840s, Indian peace medals had come to be known as a "presidential series" for which there was growing interest. The federal mint in Philadelphia started collecting dies for the previously issued medals. This began the practice of striking bronze replicas of medals for presentation to government officials or historical societies. Production of the bronze medals began in 1842 with the Jefferson medal. The dies of the Washington and John Adams medals were missing during initial production, however. The John Adams die was not collected until 1878, and the George Washington die was ultimately reproduced in 1903, completing the series.”

Mate. I want to claim that Aussie coin.  I’m sure I lost it when I was in the States in 2010.  😎🤪🤛🏻
 

On a serious note, I hope you guys are coping with the ‘beer’ virus and not taking anti-malarial pills for it.  I’m hunkered down with Netflix and perusing my favourite forums. Keep safe y’all. 🔒☠️🇦🇺
