Comment

The Sentimental Magazine went on sale in March of 1773, and continued to be published until December 1777. As an incentive, for each of its first thirteen months, the purchaser received a small copper medallion. They were all of the same general design; bust of a prominent person on the obverse, and their name and/or title on the reverse
