John Adams, the second President of the United States of America, is depicted on this medal by George Hampden Lovett, along with Adams' home. Part of a series by Lovett of portraits and residences of the first sixteen presidents (ending with Abraham Lincoln), completed between 1861 and 1865, this medal was likely manufactured in 1860 or 1861, as the series was minted in chronological order of presidency. |
