Here's the 1875 Mecklenburg (North Carolina) Declaration of Independence Centennial medal struck by the US Mint.

The medal's obverse features several symbolic design elements. At its center is a tree branch supporting a Phrygian (Liberty) cap and a hornet's nest (complete with flying hornets). The hornet's nest is a reference dating to the Revolutionary War. After British General Lord Cornwallis unsuccessfully battled local militias in the Battle of Charlotte in September, 1780, he wrote that Charlotte was "a hornet's nest of rebellion." "Hornet's Nest" was soon adopted as the city's moniker and later became part of its official seal. Also seen on the obverse are the anniversary dates "1775 - 1875" and a pair of clasped hands (with some of the longest fingers you'll ever see!) representing the post Civil War reconciliation of the North and South. The central design elements are surrounded by a series of rays.

The simple reverse features the inscriptions "Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence" encircling near the rim and "20 / May / 1775" at the center.
