The A.B. Sage Series is among the earliest organized efforts to promote numismatics in the United States. Augustus B. Sage operated one of the first dedicated numismatic galleries, issuing medals such as this to advertise, educate, and legitimize coin collecting as a scholarly pursuit. Horatio N. Rust, a prominent numismatist and author, was instrumental in shaping early American numismatic literature and standards.
