1972 American Revolution Bicentennial George Washington Commemorative Medal
George Washington (1732-1799) became the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army on June 14, 1775. Despite being outgunned, outmanned, and outnumbered, he led the Patriot army to victory against the British Empire and became a Founding Father of the newly independent United States of America. Washington was unanimously elected the first president, and his office set many precedents that endure today. His legacy remains a cornerstone of American culture.
In 1976, the United States celebrated the 200th anniversary of the Revolutionary War. Numerous collectables were issued in the surrounding years, including tokens like this one. The obverse features a bust of Washington taken from the Houdon life mask, the only plaster mould taken during the president's life. The reverse displays the Liberty Tree, symbol of the Sons of Liberty, a loose organization of revolutionaries who spearheaded the movement against the injustice of British colonial rule.
