Gyrene7483 Pillar of the Community United States 1704 Posts	Posted 07/29/2013 8:55 pm I picked this up today and I've not seen anything like it. The $50.00 slug replicas are usually done as the same form as the original except of course what it has stamped on it. This particular piece is from the Grand Council of California UCT (United Commercial Travelers) 17th Annual Session May 7-8 1915 held at the Panama Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco. It has a fob slot at the top for the suspension ribbon so the person wearing it at the exposition can remove the suspension ribbon after the event and use the pendant as a watch fob. The pendant is blank on the back save for the manufacturer's name The Greenduck Co. Chicago. I haven't been able to find another on the internet and I do know that these $5.00 slug facsimiles are quite popular and can have some decent value. Ed ANA LM-3175 Report this Post to the Staff

Ross Son Valued Member United States 173 Posts	Posted 12/13/2018 09:29 am I have something similar that I came across, but I don't think it is a medal. It says "MEMENTO OF FAMOUS CALIFORNIA FIFTY DOLLAR GOLD SLUG, USED BY THE PIONEERS". I have found versions of this slug, but can't find any information on this exact type, which has the eagle on both side. Usually it would be eagle on one side and miner, pattern, or another design, but not double sided eagle. Please help identifying if this is has any value or if it just imitation. If imitation, then I will be using as my ball maker in golf as it is a cool slug. Report this Post to the Staff
