Token of John Quincy Adams

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image is a circular, brown token or medallion with raised lettering and star designs. The token has a raised border of 30 stars around its edge. Inside the star border, there is a recessed circle. Inside the recessed circle, the name "JOHN Q. ADAMS" is embossed in large capital letters across two lines. Underneath the name, the date "1825" is embossed. The token casts a shadow on a light-colored background. The background appears to have a rough texture. The object is likely a token related to John Quincy Adams.
