Medallion Reverse:
City Tavern, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania – The first Congressional Caucus was held at the tavern with delegates discussing Where the Congress should officially assemble?, What would be the initial rules of order for conducting a Colonial Congress?, Who should be the Presiding Officer of Congress?, and What would be the Presiding Officer’s title?
Legislation debated and/or enacted: Although no legislation was enacted at the Tavern the debates were significant as the decision was made to hold the First Continental Congress in a private (Carpenters Hall), rather than public hall. A presiding officer was also entitled President and Peyton Randolph was all but formally selected as the Chair of the Colonial Congress.

those who served the nation under the Articles of Confederation is laudable."
