No Date Medal TC-218431 Copper 32mm Hartford Fire Insurance Company CA

Coin Details

Description

This undated copper medal at 32mm, cataloged as TC-218431, was produced for the Hartford Fire Insurance Company, one of America's oldest and most prestigious insurance companies. Founded in 1810, Hartford Fire became a dominant force in American property insurance, particularly after its prompt payment of claims following the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 — an act that established its reputation for reliability. The TC catalog designation identifies this within the standard token and medal reference system. The artistic quality of American medals has evolved significantly over time, from the competent but sometimes crude products of early die cutters to the sophisticated sculptural compositions of modern medalists. Insurance company medals and tokens were common promotional items in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
