The next commemorative medal issued was in 1983 when two commemorative medals were issued commemorating the Bicentennial of the founding of the Society of the Cincinnati, in bronze and silver. The design followed the original drawing of the Cincinnati Medal proposed at the time of the Society’s founding, made by Major L'Enfant in 1783 (Hume #1). For purposes of continuity, we continue the lineage of the medals beyond the last identified by Hume with #19 below. Hume #18, perhaps a late discovery by Hume, is included in this presentation with Hume #8.)
