Sometimes, a medal fits the bill! Here's the high-relief, bronze version of the 1971 Missouri Statehood Sesquicentennial medal. It includes a depiction of Charles Lindbergh's "Spirit of St. Louis" plane on its reverse.  If you'd like to see the process by which the medal was struck: - 1971 Missour Sesquicentennial Medal Process Set
