Washington to Hamilton on Political Forbearance 1826 - 1906

This bronze medal, created by John A. Bolen, features a portrait of George Washington in profile. The inscription around the medal reads "George Washington, It was His Own." This piece, likely created to commemorate Washington's legacy, is a striking example of the art of medal-making and American historical iconography. The medal is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
