Comment: A typical Art Deco bronze medal . Unfortunately, it is NOT in a beautiful condition (cleaned and showing some dings and wears). Anyway, it is a very collectible piece. On the edge :"Bronze" and an edge mark: " cornucopia". This mark indicates this medal was struck after 1880 .This medal is NOT A RESTRIKE and was struck in 1920. est. $40/50
