NGC - Coin of the Day: On this day in 1859, John Brown led a raid on an armory in Harper's Ferry. After he was hanged several weeks later, this bronze medal was struck to commemorate his efforts against slavery. You can learn more about it here: https://coins.ha.com/itm/world-meda.../1298-4463.s

It should be noted that this medal is from 1875 or later. That exuberant engraving of the beard is romantic. Not like the more neoclassical imperial style of the mid century.

The dies and the gold version were announced in 1875. This strike in copper may be from the same time or a restrike. Dating medals are complicated. Old newspapers or catalogs of collections are some times the only sources of information left.
