Perpetual Calendar

The image shows a gold-colored coin or medal with a raised design. The coin is circular and has a raised edge. The coin features a man on horseback in the center, wearing what appears to be a military uniform and holding an object. The horse faces right and has a long tail. The man and horse are surrounded by text, with the words "BORN FEB 22 1732" on the top left and "DIED DEC 14 1799" on the top right. Along the bottom edge, the text reads "THE FATHER OF OUR COUNTRY". The background of the image is a plain gray surface, with a shadow cast by the coin. The coin appears to be titled "Perpetual Calendar" and attributed to an unknown artist.
