1783 Georgius Triumpho Washington 1c Grades f, fine. An enigmatic issue that was long thought to be satirical in nature, as the bust resembles George III rather than George Washington. Unlike most Washington pieces dated in the 1780s, the Georgivs Triumpho token was actually struck during that decade. Examples were used as a host for the 1787 Maris 73-aa New Jersey coppers. The portrait resembles Washington less than another famous George from the era, King George III, perhaps because a bust or painting of Washington was not available to the engraver.
