HK-120, commemorating the Centennial of the Battle & Massacre at Fort Wyoming.  A lesser known engagement during the Revolutionary War between Patriot Militia and British Loyalists and native allies, commemorated more for the number of Colonial casualties (and the resulting "outrage" due to incorrect reporting of the figures) than any importance as a strategic event.  Choice Uncirculated, certified NGC MS-62BN, struck in Bronzed Copper (listed in H-K as Bronze).  Scarce, with a report of only 324 struck in this composition (one source says 300).  NGC population of 31 pieces in all grades as of Jan. 2026.  A nicer piece than the grade indicates, with attractive brown slightly Prooflike surfaces.  Important due to the upcoming celebration of the 250th Anniversary of American Independence, which will likely increase interest in all commemoratives of the 1876 Centennial period.  Dies by to George Morgan, although unsigned; confirmed by Morgan in publications distributed with some of these medals, which also attested to the number struck as shown above.  Likely one of the semi-private issues produced either directly by the U. S. Mint under private contract, or whose dies were engraved by Mint employees working on the side.
