Description
White metal was the third and plainest of the metals used for Springfield's 250th anniversary medal of 1886, after bronze (HK-608) and silver-plated bronze (HK-608a). HK-609 shares their dies. Springfield, Massachusetts, dated its start as a town to May 14, 1636, and the anniversary was held on May 25 and 26, 1886, two days that began on the anniversary of the city charter of May 25, 1852; both founding dates appear on the reverse inside a wreath. The obverse shows the city seal in a circle with the name of the city and state around it and the anniversary line below, all within a beaded border. The source records no maker. White metal, 38 mm.
