Special Presentation by Dr. Robert Fagaly
Comitia Americana Medals, their Creation and History
Dr. Fagaly, Ph.D. in Physics, was the lead author for the Grading Guide for Early American Copper Coins, which was awarded the NLG's Book of the Year in 2015. His current interest is in the Comitia Americana medals, the subject of his presentation. The Comitia Americana Medals series, produced between 1776 and the early 19th century, memorializes some of the pivotal moments of the American Revolutionary War and were created after Continental Congressional voted to memorialize the heroism, friendship, and leadership of key American and French revolutionaries. Dr. Fagaly has graciously volunteered to display his personal collection of these extremely rare medals as part of his presentation.
