Once Dr. Jonas Salk developed the polio vaccine, he gave it away freely to help as many sick children as possible worldwide.

Blaise Pascal, who was most famous as a brilliant mathematician and also invented an early calculator (as shown on the reverse).   I sincerely apologize for posting photographs of the medal inside the coin capsule. I just don't feel confident taking it out today and I'm afraid of impairing the proof surface.

Thank you Hondo! I think they can add a lot of interesting historical context and diversity of designs to a collection.
