Rulau-NY-NY 395. Struck in brass. Produced by George H. Lovett for Isaac F. Wood. Wood (1841-1895) was a well known numismatist during the post-Civil War years up through to almost the end of the 19th century. Besides being pivotal in the formation of the American Numismatic Society, he was responsible for many medallic issues. This piece is one of just two pieces in this Lovett / Wood series cataloged by Rulau. Die combinations and metal variations exist; all quite elusive. Widespread olive / walnut toning with areas of original brass color in the design recesses.
