Description

This undated medal honors the Maria Moors Cabot Prize awarded by Columbia University, one of the most prestigious journalism awards in the Americas. The prize, established in 1938 through a bequest from Godfrey Lowell Cabot in memory of his wife, recognizes outstanding journalism that furthers inter-American understanding and freedom of the press in Latin America. Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism has administered the prize since its inception, honoring journalists who often work at great personal risk to report on corruption, human rights abuses, and political repression. The unusual 48mm x 60mm dimensions indicate an oval or non-circular format, adding artistic distinction to this institutional award. The "unfinished" designation indicates this may be a die trial, artist's proof, or incomplete medal that was never fully processed. The Cabot Prize medal documents one of the most important recognitions for journalistic courage and excellence in the Western Hemisphere.

Rarity Notes

Rare. Columbia University institutional award medal in unfinished state. The non-standard dimensions and unfinished condition make this highly unusual.
