JAB-40 CYRUS MEDAL Brass

33mm - 7 Struck in Brass

Dies cut in 1893 for E.J. Piper. They are currently unaccounted for. Piper was a member of the Roswell Lee Masonic Lodge that practiced the Scottish Rite of Masonry, which incorporates Cyrus' name in several of its ceremonies. The Masonic temple was destroyed by fire in 1891. This medal was undoubtedly used in fund raising efforts.

This piece is in a NGC slab which says it is from the Henry South Collection.
