Coin Details
Description
The city seal of Springfield, Massachusetts, sits in a circle on the obverse of HK-608, with the city and state named around it and the occasion below: "250 Anniversary Held May 25 26 1886." Inside an open wreath on the reverse, the medal gives the city's two founding dates, organized as a town on May 14, 1636, marked O.S. for the old-style calendar, and incorporated as a city on May 25, 1852. Beaded borders frame both sides. Hibler and Kappen record no maker, sponsor or account of the two-day celebration. They list the medal in bronze, this piece, in silver-plated bronze (HK-608a) and in white metal (HK-609). Bronze, 38 mm.
