Obverse of the Botetourt Medal

... that both a statue of Lord Botetourt - and a medal (pictured) named for him - have been the subject of replicas made for the College of William & Mary?

The first article was moved to mainspace on 8 Feb, the second on 11 Feb, which is new enough for me. Both articles long enough and well-sourced. No copyvio issues. Image is legible at low res, and free (mere reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain medal). Hook interesting, in the article, and cited, and the citations check out. Good to go.
