Looks like 2 separate events.

First is commemorating the 10 years George Washington lived and worked in the Winchester area of Virginia between 1748-1758.

The other side appears to be the Clarke, Frederick, and Winchester Counties in Virginia celebrating the 200 anniversary of the capture of Captain (at the time) Daniel Morgan in the Battle of Quebec, whichs started on Dec 31, 1775. When Daniel was 16, he moved away from home after a fight with his father and worked a few odd jobs, before settling down in the Winchester area.
