Owner's Description

MEDAL APPEARANCE/CONDITION: *Brilliant White Gem - Sharp Detail; Excellent Strike - Frosty Devices And Mirrored Lustrous Fields Give Off A Proof-Like Appeal -- Most examples are heavily worn, therefore gem examples are scarce* MEDAL BACKGROUND: "Issued to commemorate Zebulon Montgomery Pike as a key figure in Colorado's history. The piece also commemorates the statehood of Colorado which was admitted to the Union August 1, 1876 as the 38th state. -- The piece was likely 'not' struck in 1876, but more so struck with the date '1876' to commemorate Colorado's statehood, as the piece appears to have been issued from a more modern era." RARITY: Unknown; Likely scarce - I have seen 8-15 other examples MEDAL DESCRIPTION: (White Metal, 38mm, Round, Reeded Edge) OBVERSE: Zebulon Montgomery Pike / Nil Sine / Numine / (Image of Lt. Pike) / 1876 REVERSE: State of Colorado / (Colorado State Emblem; Nil Sine Numine) / 1876
