D Pillar of the Community Canada 899 Posts	Posted 10/31/2009 11:59 am Does this appear to be a reproduction medal MAJOR GENERAL (MAD) ANTHONY WAYNE The medal awarded to Major General Anthony Wayne was for his victory at Stony Point. On the front side of the medal is the representation of a crowned Indian Queen, with a quiver on her back, and wearing a short feather apron making two presentations to General Wayne. With her right hand she is presenting him a wreath of victory; in her left hand a mural crown. Over the figures is the legend: "Antonio Wayne Duci Exercitus" and beneath "Comitia Americana - The American Congress to General Anthony Wayne". On the reverse of the medal is a depiction of the fort on Stony Point. It shows the troops storming the fortification. The inscription reads: "Stony Point Expugnatum , XV, Jul. MDCCLXXIX - Stony Point captured July 15, 1779". Report this Post to the Staff
