United States, 1883. An 1883 bronze piece listed as Baker 463A that is only 16mm across. This piece is interesting because of its size. This is a William H. Key piece done in bronze/copper.

This great Civil War token/medal is small (16mm) but interesting. Not often seen.

KEY, William H. (c1820-c1902) diesinker, engraver, Philadelphia (c1844-50); U.S. Mint (1864-1885). Born Brooklyn, New York (circa 1820). Learned engraving from his father, Frederick C. Key and in business with him (1854-60) as F.C. Key & Son, then in partnership with John C. Odling, as Key & Odling (1863-67). Employed at Philadelphia Mint after Civil War, he was dismissed in 1885. Listed as engraver in city directories until 1885, but afterwards as engineer, until 1902. William Key signed dies with full initials WHK (and one die KEY F, often misattributed to his father, Frederick. Many uniform diameter dies were often muled, frequently with their own F.C. Key & Son storecard die; other mules of William Key and George Hampton Lovett dies. Key may have engraved the dies for Lingg & Brothers American Centennial 1876 medalets. Philadelphia medalist William Warner acquired many dies Key had produced privately (no Mint dies) and struck these on his own. Key was one of the most productive American engravers (and possibly some unsigned dies of the U.S. Mint and Warner were his creations).
