Miscellaneous Medals and Tokens
Three-Piece Lot of San Francisco Assay Office Eagle Motif Impressions. The uniface medals bear no inscriptions, and are respectively struck in copper, brass, and silver. They were reportedly made by Robert Bashlow, a controversial creator of coin collecting curiosities active during the 1960s. The tokens have a diameter slightly larger than the Kagin-9 1852/1 twenty dollar piece, and the image of the eagle motif is nearly identical to that of the pioneer gold variety, except the banner has no inscription.
