The dies for this type, popular with both Hard Times and Merchant token collectors, are a tour-de-force thought to have been created by sculptor Louisa Lander (1826-1923) in 1847, an ornate masterpiece in miniature crafted by an artist of only 21 years of age. Lander went to Rome in 1855 and studied under Thomas Crawford, famed Rome-based American sculptor, who is famous for Freedom sculpture on the U.S. Capitol dome. This is her only known foray as a medalist, and evidence points to its striking by Charles Cushing Wright.
