1967 Medal Handy & Harman 57mm Medallic Art Co., NY

Coin Details

Description

This 57mm medal produced in 1967 by Medallic Art Company of New York was commissioned by Handy & Harman, one of America's oldest and most respected precious metals refining and fabricating companies. Founded in 1867, Handy & Harman was celebrating its centennial in 1967, making this a 100th anniversary commemorative. The company was a major refiner of gold, silver, and platinum group metals, with operations serving the electronics, jewelry, dental, and industrial markets. As a precious metals company, Handy & Harman had a natural appreciation for fine metalwork, and their choice of Medallic Art Company for their centennial medal ensured a commemorative of the highest artistic quality. The 57mm diameter provides generous space for corporate imagery and centennial inscriptions. Corporate centennial medals from major American companies document the evolution of American industry and commerce, and Handy & Harman's century of precious metals expertise makes their centennial medal particularly relevant to the numismatic community that deals daily in the products of precious metal refining.
