Indian treaty medal, Treaties 3 to 8
1873-1900

In 1873, several copies of a third silver medal with a more appropriate western theme were ordered from J.S. & A.B. Wyon of London, England, at a cost of $24 each. They featured a bust of Queen Victoria and the inscription "VICTORIA REGINA," and on the reverse side, a stylized Indian encampment at sunset, with an Indian leader in war costume and a British officer shaking hands. The inscription on the reverse side reads: "INDIAN TREATY N°. - / 187-." The spaces were deliberately left blank and would be incised with the treaty number and date at the appropriate time.
