This gorgeous example exhibits warm slate-gray design elements set against brightly reflective silver-gray fields. The strike is sharp and the eye appeal is substantial.

This medal was produced to celebrate the Treaty of Paris, signed at the conclusion of the American Revolution by the newly established United States of America and the recently vanquished British was signed in 1783. Choice for the grade at many levels.
