Abraham Lincoln Medal (obverse)

Charles Calverley

Cleveland Museum of Art

Bronze medal with raised profile portrait of a man with short hair and beard facing right. The man has a prominent nose and the hair on the top of his head sweeps back on either side. The words "ABRAHAM LINCOLN" are raised in capital letters on the right side in an arc. On the left side, in a similar arc are the dates "FEB.12.1809 APRIL.14.1865". The medal has a slight brown patina and there is a maker's mark on the bottom left edge. The medal sits on a surface and casts a slight shadow. The background behind the medal fades from dark gray at the top to light grey towards the bottom.
