Trying To See If Anyone Can Help Me With This Coin

Hope that is good and thanks for the help

This coins is more related to the yellow fever outbreak. 12 were made of gold and given to doctors that came to help. But I cant find were bronze one were made. And why . JF Wheaton was the president of the SBA at that time and later the mayor of savannah ga. according to one of the books from that page. No idea what value this token is. I might just see if their historical society wants it

Yeah I wasn't looking for them to pay for it. It's that or throw it up on ebay and see what's it gets. Does have some good history to it . Wheaton was a cpt in the confederate army

Thanks case close seems to rare too give up thanks a ton.Rare Savannah, Georgia Yellow Fever Epidemic Medal of 1876

1876 Savannah (GA) Benevolent Association medal. Bronze, 34 mm. Mint State. A beautiful mahogany bronzed medal, a little speckled on the obverse (as made), deeper at the edges on the reverse. When I bought this medal, having never seen one, it looked familiar -- perhaps just like the very rare 1855 Yellow Fever medal struck for Norfolk, VA, one of which was in Ford IX. Once this was gotten back to the John Kraljevich Americana library, it turns out the obverse is a very precise copy of the Norfolk medal. It is not exact -- this donkey stands a little prouder, and this one is signed R. LAUBENHEIMER. Rudolph Laubenheimer was a German-American engraver who also designed medals to mark the 1876 Centennial and the Columbian Exposition. This medal was produced in gold to present to the doctors who risked their lives during the 1876 yellow fever outbreak in Savannah; just 16 were awarded. The number in bronze may have been similarly small, as Dr. Horatio Storer's "The Medals, Jetons, and Tokens Illustrative of Sanitation" in the 1889 edition of The Sanitarian noted these were "very rare." Presumably, if Ford had seen one, he would have acquired it to accompany the gold Norfolk Yellow Fever medal it so closely follows. Its Biblical imagery -- the Good Samaritan along with the citation from the Gospel of Matthew -- makes this a distinctive award medal; the truncated verse I WAS SICK AND YOU VISITED ME appears as the obverse legend. This would be an intriguing and historic addition to a medical-themed medal collection...Sold
