This obverse is the obverse of Baker
A154. Although A154 is not attributed to George H. I think this muling
is further evidence that it is his work.

Baker did not list GW-523 or GW-524 in silver but Neil Musante in
"Medallic Washington" states a silver example of each was listed
in Woodward's tenth sale of October 1864 and were described as unique.
Lot 55 in the Leighton Galleries sale, December 3, 2020, containedone example of each in silver. Were these the pieces from the Woodward
Sale or two other silver examples?
Baker 147A, copper, 27.9mm

Not listed in silver in Baker or Rulau/Fuld but according to Neil
Musante there is a silver example in the collection of the Massachusetts
Historical Society, probably unique.

Feb. 22 Birthday
GW-996, Baker A154, white metal, 29mm
GW-996, Type of A154 in copper, 29mm
In "Medallic Portraits of Washington" this medal is listed only in
white metal, is not attributued to George H. Lovett, and the image looks
like a grainy photo of a photo. There is no rarity listing but it seems
they are very scarce.
I am
calling it the work of George H. because of the medal pictured below.
This is also unlisted and uses the obverse of Baker A154 with a George
H. die.
