Bronze-toned copper, 38mm, the edge personalized ISSAC B. WADDEN, SGT. H. 8TH REGT., the obverse with the Commonwealth's arms, the reverse stating the recipient of the medal was among the first to answer the call to arms.

Wadden enlisted on April 15, 1861, no doubt upon hearing Fort Sumter had been fired upon. He later served in Co. "A," 4th Massachusetts Heavy Artillery, mustering out for good on August 7, 1863.

Attractive patina; suspension loop needs repair.
