This medal is HK-131, a "so called dollar".
There are many restrikes of the original medal; see "Washington Before Boston Medal".
I found Celebration of the Centennial Anniversary of the Evacuation of Boston by the British Army which describes the purchase of the medal among other celebrations of 1876.
Two people with "Lawrence" surnames contributed to the purchase of the gold medal ) but neither were my grandfather's father Herbert Myron Lawrence. They could be relatives, but I do not know. I believe Herbert Myron was in San Francisco at that time.
