The next big anniversary was in 1916, for the tercentenary of Shakespeare's death. This is from the American Newspaper Publishing Association. Again, this one might have been a pendant, as I've seen a version with a top loop.  |

And then 1964 brings us to the quatercentenary of Shakespeare's birth. Again, this medal used to have a top loop.  |

The Oregon Shakespeare Festival is among the oldest & largest non-profit theatres in the nation, putting on productions in Ashland, Oregon. They often had annual medals for the festival, this from their 25th season in 1965.  |

Some medals are too large for cases. This 1964 Czechoslovak Shakespeare medal measures almost 3" across.  |
