Description
This De Lue design was chosen as the 111th issue of the prestigious Society of Medalists series. Both obverse and reverse bear a muscular nude constrained by the rectangular medal's sides, hands and a foot pressed against the sides as if trying to break out of the frame imposed by the medal's shape. The reverse shows the same figure as seen from the other side.
The medal was struck in bronze by the Medallic Art Company of Danbury, Connecticut, and its reported mintage is 750 pieces. -
