1922 Norse American Medal - Thick

The 1925 Norse-American Centennial Medal commemorates the 100th anniversary of the arrival of Norwegian immigrants to America aboard the ship "Restauration." With a limited mintage of just 33,750 for all varieties combined, the thick planchet version seen here is significantly rarer, with only about 6,000 minted. This distinctive octagonal medal celebrates the Norwegian contribution to American culture and history.

This gem example, graded MS65 by PCGS and endorsed with a CAC sticker, displays exceptional quality and eye appeal. The surfaces show a pleasing silver-gray patina with underlying luster that accentuates the bold, well-defined details. The strike is remarkably sharp, with the Viking warrior on the obverse and the longship on the reverse exhibiting complete detail. Free from distracting marks or abrasions, this medal represents the finest quality available for this historic commemorative issue.
