Info on accessioned medals (to fill in gaps in kiosk):
1989.4.20:
Title: Battle of Cowpens
Note: This is a 1976 replica issue that took the copy from the reverse of a 18th century medal (of the famous Comitas Americana series). I'm rather confused how to label this but will note the artist for the 18th century reverse design is by Benjamin Duvivier
