1923 Medal Honeycutt-149 Gilt Ae
Strike TypeCoin Details
Description
This 1923 gilt bronze medal cataloged as Honeycutt-149 dates to the middle of the American colonial period in the Philippines, during the administration of Governor-General Leonard Wood. The gilt bronze composition — bronze with a gold wash — indicates a higher-quality presentation piece that combines the durability of bronze with the visual appeal of gold. The 1923 date corresponds to a politically charged period in Philippine-American relations, as Governor-General Wood's more conservative approach to Filipino self-governance created tensions with Philippine political leaders who had enjoyed greater autonomy under his predecessor. Honeycutt-149 places this medal within the systematic Philippine numismatic reference catalog that documents the full range of medals and tokens associated with the archipelago's complex colonial history.
