A Centennial Memorial 1876

This small bronze medal, created by George Hampden Lovett in 1876, commemorates the Battle of Sullivan's Island, a pivotal American Revolutionary War victory for the Continental Army. The medal, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, features a starburst design, surrounded by the inscription "Battle of Sullivan's Island June 28 1776, S.C." The medal is a testament to Lovett's skill as a medalist and a reminder of the importance of this historic battle.
