Reseña del libro "The First Medals of America: Comitia Americana and Associated Medals (en Inglés)"
People interested in coin collecting, medal collecting, and American Revolutionary history will enjoy this read. The American Continental Congress issued eleven medals for valor during the American Revolution. This book tells the stories behind these brave men and their exploits, and the long process of procuring their individual medals. America had no generic medal for valor at the time. They also had no mint, so had to have France and their sculptors create each medal. This was a labor of love for Franklin and Jefferson while they were Ambassadors to France. Thomas Jefferson himself collected the medals, and presented a set of them to George Washington. Collectors of these medals often include in the series other medals sculpted by the same engravers and struck in Paris relating to the American Revolution. People call the collecting area Comitia Americana (Latin for American Congress). Twenty-six medals are pictured in full page color photographs. The book includes full information about types of medals available and their cost. Foreword by Niel Musante. Topics covered are: Chapter 1. Introduction and FranklinChapter 2. Medals procured by Franklin: De Fleury 1779 and Libertas Americana 1783Chapter 3. Dupré's Franklin Medals 1784 & 1786Chapter 4. Medals procured by Humphreys 1787: Gates and GreeneChapter 5.
