- 1783 Washington Georgivs Triumpho Token. Musante GW-54, Baker-7, W-10100. AU-55 (PCGS). Lovely medium brown surfaces with a tinge of warm rose patina discernible as the token rotates under a light. Well struck for one of these, trivial signs of handling hardly interfere with the bold, overall smooth appearance to both sides. The design of this type remains somewhat enigmatic, though the fleur-de-lis decorated basket in which Britannia sits is now thought to be that of a hot air balloon -- this theory suggested as the first hot air balloon made its ascent in September 1783, the same month in which the Treaty of Paris was signed, marking the official end of the Revolutionary War. PCGS# 664. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
