    Rare Vintage
    1948 -- 1973 Sterling Silver Medal MONTGOMERY
    COUNTY MD
    Agricultural Fair
    1.5" Diameter
    Coin picturing Corn, Grain, Fruits, and a Heart on a map of Montgomery County, MD.
    This is an original, vintage medallion, which is made of Sterling Silver.  It measures about 1.5 inches in diameter.  It is about .125 inch thick.  It weighs slightly more than 1 ounce.
    Above the date "Aug. 20 - 25, 1973" on the back of the medallion, there is a tiny, engraved, crown-shaped box with the word "Sterling".  The plastic, coin-holder box also states "Sterling Silver" on top (see pic).
    The medal was for the 25th Anniversary of the Montgomery County, Maryland, Agricultural Fair.  The Fair began about 1948.
    One side has a detailed, engraved p
    icture of Corn, Grain, Fruits, and a Heart on a Map of Montgomery County, MD.  It states "1948 - 1973",  "25th Anniversary", and "Gaithersburg, Maryland".  The other side states: "Montgomery County Fair", "Maryland's Leading County Fair", and "Aug. 20 - 25, 1973".
    The medal has shiny silver edges.
    I could not find a maker's mark on it.  And I could not find any other examples of this medal anywhere on-line, except for the Bronze medal I am also auctioning on ebay.  I purchased this medal at a flea-market sale about 7 years ago.
    It is a very attractive medal, with very sharp details.  This item is nearly 50 years old, and the Montgomery County Agricultural Fair is nearly 75 years old now.  See actual item in ebay pics.
    Very Good Condition:
    Has a tiny discoloration directly below the "G" in "Gaithersburg"; otherwise, very sharp and attractive, uncirculated medal/token/coin in original coin-holder box (see pics).
