No Date Bronze Medal Morris & Essex Kennel Club 44mm

Coin Details

Description

This undated bronze medal at 44mm was produced for the Morris & Essex Kennel Club, one of the most prestigious dog show organizations in America. Founded in 1927, the Morris & Essex Kennel Club held its famous outdoor shows in Madison, New Jersey, drawing thousands of entries and becoming one of the premier events in the American dog show world. The club was revived in 2000 after a long hiatus. The 44mm bronze format indicates an award or commemorative medal produced for club members, judges, or winners at the prestigious shows. The study of medal production techniques — from die engraving and planchet preparation through striking and finishing — reveals the intersection of artistic vision and industrial manufacturing that characterizes the medallic arts. Dog show award medals are a niche collecting area within American numismatics.
