PREFACE. 


In  the  following  pages  will  be  found  descriptions  of  one  hundred 
and  eighty-nine  Medals  struck  in  honor  of  ABRAHAM  LINCOLN. 
No  President  or  public  man  in  this  country — WASHINGTON  ex¬ 
cepted — has  been  honored  with  an  equal  number  of  medallic  me¬ 
morials. 

I  believe  very  few  pieces  have  escaped  my  observation,  and  they 
arc  probably  those  known  as  “  mules.” 

The  infamous  practice  of  muling,  at  one  time  carried  to  a  great 
extent,  tends  to  confuse  any  one  attempting  to  catalogue  politi¬ 
cal  pieces. 

Those  individuals  who  urge  die-cutters  to  strike  them,  can  be 
looked  upon  only  with  contempt  by  any  true  student  of  Numis¬ 
matics. 

I  am  indebted  to  the  late  Mr.  A.  H.  Satterlee’s  work  on 
“  Presidential  Medals  ”  for  descriptions  of  some  of  the  earlier  po- 
liticals.  Also,  to  several  gentlemen,  who  furnished  me  with  rub¬ 
bings  and  information  on  the  subject.

CATALOGUE. 


No.  1. 

Obverse — Head  facing  to  the  left :  “  Dedie  par  la  Democratic 
Frangaise  a  Lincoln,  President  deux  fois  elu  des  Etats-Unis.” 
Reverse — Victory  stands  on  one  side  of  an  altar  with  a  sword  in 
one  hand  and  a  wreath  in  the  other.  The  altar  bears  the  inscrip¬ 
tion  :  “Lincoln  l’honnete  homme  abolit  l’Esclavage,  retablit 
rUnion,  sauva  la  Republique,  sans  voiler  la  statue  de  la  Liberte. 
II  fut  assassine  le  14  Avril,  1865.”  On  the  other  side  of  the  altar 
are  two  freedmen.  The  elder  points  to  the  American  eagle,  and 
the  younger  places  a  palm-branch  on  the  altar.  Above,  a  triangle. 
In  the  background,  the  emblems  of  Commerce.  Beneath  the 
altar,  “  Liberte,  Egalite,  Fraternite.” 

The  circumstances  attending  the  production  of  this  beautiful 
medal  are  very  interesting.  Immediately  after  Mr.  Lincoln’s  as¬ 
sassination,  a  subscription  was  started  in  France,  limited  to  two 
sous  for  each  person,  to  raise  funds  to  present  a  gold  medal  to 
Mrs.  Lincoln,  as  a  testimonial  of  sympathy  from  the  French  peo¬ 
ple.  Napoleon  III.  would  not  allow  it  to  be  struck  in  France, 
but  it  was  finally  produced  in  Switzerland. 

The  following  is  a  translation  of  the  letter  of  presentation  : 

“PARIS,  October  13,  1866. 

“  Madam  : — We  have  been  charged  with  the  duty  of  presenting 
to  you  the  medal  in  honor  of  the  great  and  honest  man  whose 
name  you  bear,  and  which  forty  thousand  French  citizens  have 
caused  to  be  struck,  with  a  desire  to  express  their  sympathy  for 
the  American  Union,  in  the  person  of  one  of  its  most  illustrious 
and  purest  representatives. 

“  If  France  possessed  the  liberty  enjoyed  by  Republican  Amcr- 


o  MEDALS  IN  HONOR  OF  ABRAHAM  LINCOLN. 

ica,  we  would  number  with  us  not  merely  thousands,  but  millions 
of  the  admirers  of  Lincoln,  and  of  the  partisans  of  those  opinions 
to  which  he  devoted  his  life,  and  which  are  consecrated  by  his 
death.  Please  accept,  madam,  the  homage  of  our  profound 
respect. 

“The  members  of  the  Committee: 

“  Etienne  Arago,  Ch.  L.  Chassin,  L.  Greppo,  Laurent  Pichat, 
Eug.  Despois,  L.  Kneip,  C.  Thomas  Albert,  J.  Michelet, 
Jules  Barni,  T.  Delord,  V.  Chaffour,  E.  Littre,  V.  Schoel- 
cher,  V.  Joigneaiix,  Ver.  Maugin,  Edgar  Quinet,  Louis 
Blanc,  Eugene  Pelletau,  Victor  Hugo.”

The  publication  of  this  medal  was  undertaken  by  the  American 
Numismatic  Society.  The  first  die  broke  before  many  impres¬ 
sions  had  been  taken,  and  the  second  exhibits  a  slight  difference.
