Harlan J. Berk Ltd. is privileged to offer a highly select group of historic medals relating to the discovery of the Americas, the American Colonial era and the stirring events of the American Revolution and its ultimate triumph. These medals have been chronicled in C. Wyllys Betts, “American Colonial History Illustrated by Contemporary Medals,” and in the recent “Medallic Portraits of Admiral Vernon, Medals Sometimes Lie” by John W. Adams and Dr. Fernando Chao (h). This category of American Medallic Art is undergoing a phenomenal increase in popularity, and the pieces offered here are notable both for their high quality and historical importance.
