Description

1986 Albany Charter Tricentennial Medal. Silver. Choice Mint State.
89.1 mm. 12.40 troy ounces, .995 fine according to XRF analysis, 12.34 troy ounces ASW. Obv: Albany's first city seal flanked by farmer and Native American supporting the arches of Albany's City Hall. Rev: 18th century Hudson River sloop, also taken from an early version of the city's arms, and four diamonds depicting local flora and fauna. Three hundred silver examples were authorized, but it is thought that fewer than that were actually ordered at the issue price of $250. Still housed in its original presentation case, now decomposing slightly on the inside. (Total: 1 medal; 1 case)
