1927 Medal Vermont Sesquicentennial Bronze Medallic Art Co., NY

Coin Details

Description

This 1927 bronze medal by Medallic Art Company of New York commemorates the Vermont Sesquicentennial, celebrating the 150th anniversary of Vermont's establishment as an independent republic in 1777. Vermont declared independence from both New York and the British Crown in 1777, operating as an independent entity known as the Vermont Republic until joining the Union as the fourteenth state in 1791. The sesquicentennial celebrations in 1927 included parades, ceremonies, and commemorative productions across the state, and this Medallic Art Company medal served as a lasting numismatic tribute to Vermont's unique history. The bronze composition was standard for broadly distributed commemorative medals. State anniversary medals form an important subcategory within American medal collecting, documenting the historical milestones of individual states within the federal system. Medallic Art Company received commissions from state anniversary committees across the country, and their Vermont Sesquicentennial medal represents the firm's ability to create designs that honored specific regional histories while maintaining the artistic quality standards that distinguished MACO products from ordinary commercial souvenirs.
