"1935" Elgin, Illinois Pioneer Medal Plaque. Uniface Plaster Reproduction.

"1935" Elgin, Illinois Pioneer Medal Plaque. Uniface Plaster Reproduction. Essentially As Made. 7.0 inches. This plaster reproduction depicts the design of the Pioneer medal prepared by Trygve Rovelstad in conjunction with the 100th anniversary of the founding of Elgin, Illinois. The design is that of the Pioneer Memorial in Elgin, which design is also the focal point of the reverse of the 1936 Elgin, Illinois Centennial commemorative half dollar. The medal design, depicted here, has a different inscription along the upper border that reads 1835 PIONEERS 1935. Painted to simulate the original bronze medal plaque, with a hook for hanging affixed to the blank reverse. A desirable go-with item for inclusion in an advanced collection of United States Mint commemorative coinage. The Pioneer Medal plaque was created by Trygve A. Rovelstad in the late 1930s. It was cast in bronze in Paris, France. The plaster models were taken from the original and as of December 1st, 1995, not more than 50 copies have been reproduced.
