1924 Medal Honeycutt-156a Gilt Copper w/o Stockholder
Strike TypeCoin Details
Description
This 1924 gilt copper medal cataloged as Honeycutt-156a is distinguished by the notation "w/o Stockholder," indicating it lacks a stockholder mark or inscription found on the standard Honeycutt-156 variety. This distinction is significant in Philippine medal collecting, as the presence or absence of stockholder markings represents a meaningful die variety. The gilt copper composition — copper with a gold wash — places this among the presentation-quality pieces in the series. The 1924 date falls during Governor-General Leonard Wood's administration, a period marked by political tensions between American administrators and Filipino leaders pushing for independence. The absence of the stockholder marking makes this the scarcer of the two Honeycutt-156 variants and provides die-variety collectors with an additional collecting objective within the Philippine medal series.
Rarity Notes
Gilt copper, Honeycutt-156a variant without stockholder mark. Scarcer than the standard Honeycutt-156d with stockholder mark.
