April 7, 2025: "America’s First?"

25-04-07

Author:
J. Luck

Concept:
When featuring a piece like this solemn, historically significant and weighty Washington Funeral Medal with lovely original surfaces, we decided to eschew a pithy or pun-filled caption in favor of a serious numismatic one.

Namely one suggested by our guest author that pointed out that this circa 1800 piece struck to commemorate Washington’s death is almost certainly the first American commemorative ever struck.

Captions that didn’t make the cut:
We kept trying various plays on the word “holed”, but then decided that was a terrible idea.
