Brooklyn Bridge Medal
Struck in white metal with dies by George Lovett. 52mm which makes it a rather large medal. Reverse shows the sun over the Brooklyn bridge and the East river. Attribution is Douglas 7A.

Here's another. Miller Mass-55, the token is one of the originals that were struck in 1859. (Later mulings were struck in the 1867-71 period)

Mint state, and struck in copper, it is also cataloged as a Baker-560.
