Following a tradition started by British diplomats in North America, the U.S. Mint produced a particular set of medals for distribution to Native American tribes from 1801 to 1812. The "peace medals" served as tangible tokens of friendship and underscored President Jefferson's plans to embrace the Native American nations of the American West and include them, partially, in his Empire of Liberty. Engraved by Robert Scott, the medals were produced in three sizes, four, three, and two inches in diameter, and showed a bust of Jefferson and words TH. JEFFERSON PRESIDENT OF THE U.S. A.D. 1801 on one side, and two hands clasped in PEACE AND FRIENDSHIP with a tomahawk and pipe on the other. Lewis and Clark carried and presumably distributed some 235 medals of the three sizes. The medals were hollow shells held together by a silver rim.
