1976 Franklin Mint Bicentenial Powderhorn made of the finest Baccarat Crystal, inlaid with solid sterling silver.

With a sharp knife, artistic skill and a creative imagination, a soldier could transpose a utilitarian object into a thing of beauty.

This commemorative features an original design created by the distinguished artist Isa Barnett, who has captured the heroic spirit of the patriots perservering during the bitter winter encampments to serve the cause of freedom.

This Franklin Mint Bicentennial Powderhorn is a reminder of the suffering endured by our forefathers in their struggles to achieve independence.

The design on the horn was created by the artist Isa Barnett. It is hand blown of Baccarat crystal and it is capped and banded in solid sterling silver with a sterling silver chain.

The beautiful horn is sparkling "Baccarat" crystal, and has a sterling silver lid on one end and a collar and chain on the other.

This work of art, which has been called the most beautiful medal ever conceived, was a tribute to the Allied victory over Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. The medal was created by Benedetto Pistrucci, the famed Italian medallist. Pistrucci worked on the medal, which he regarded as his finest work, for 33 years, from 1817-1850. When he died, the work was technically unfinished , since it carried no inscription to specifically connect the medal with Waterloo.

The face of the medal carries profile busts of the 4 sovereigns whose alliance overthrew Napoleon: the Prince Regent (Later King George IV) of England, Francis II of Austria, Alexander I of Russia and Frederick William III of Prussia. The outer border provides an allegorical interpretation of the victory and of the peace which followed. The central motif on the reverse depicts 2 mounted horsemen galloping into action, urged on by the winger figure of victory. The border composition represents the mythological battle of the giants in their assault on heaven. 

When this work was complete, the dies were considered so valuable, no one had the courage to harden them and risk damaging the sculpture. As a result, the original medal was never struck. Those original dies measure 5 1/4 " in diameter and to this day they have still not been hardened. Many years ago, John Pinches (Medallists) Ltd-- the British affiliate of the Franklin Mint, was authorized to  make 2 sets of electrotypes in soft copper from these dies. From one of these electrotypes, Pinches struck the medal in a 2 1/2 " size. New dies were produced, and Pinches added the inscription "Waterloo June 18, 1815" on the edge of each medal. All specimens are serially numbered.
