Jamieson notes that “during a period of just over two centuries the British Government has, from time to time, presented medals to the North American Indian Chiefs as tokens of friendship, to mark the conclusion of treaties, in order to win their allegiance, or as rewards for services against enemies.” Geoffrey Bell Auctions is proud to present three of these important specimens for your consideration. Any one of these medals would prove to be a centerpiece of the finest collection.
Adams 12.1, Jamieson - Fig 24. Considered one of the most beautiful in the Indian Chief Series of medals. Issued in 3 sizes, 3", 2"3/8, 1" 1/2. This is of the 3" variety. Holed at the top, Ex. Wayte Raymond, J.J. Ford. Engraved by Thomas Wyon. Rare.
