Failor-Hayden List No. 209 WILLIAM G. McADOO. BRONZE. 76mm. George T. Morgan (0bverse). John R. Sinnock (Reverse). Obverse: Left-facing bust of William G. McAdoo. Inscription around: “WILLIAM GIBBS McADOO SECRETARY OF THE TREAURY 1913-1918. Reverse: Standing woman, as America, holding cornucopia full of coins and currency, rested on pedestal marked “PATRIA”. A plaque on this pedestal states “SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY MAR. 6. 1913 - DEC. 16. 1918 / DIRECTOR GENERAL OF RAILROADS / DEC. 27. 1917 - JAN. 11. 1919”. Statue of Liberty behind. Steamship to left, battle ship to right. Steam engine to left and soldiers below, marching right. There is a ton of symbolism in this reverse design. While the Mint produced this between the date of its original issuance through the 1980s, this example is an early strike, likely made in the late teens or twenties. It’s surfaces are smooth with sharp details and a a layer of lacquer, which was something normally applied to medals in this period. No wear is evident. The reverse is signed “M. & S.” - a true collaboration piece.
