the text below is from a posting on another website.
Gold Masonic Medallion: Dr. Arthur Smith, nationally recognized economist, gave this medallion to me in 1970. Dr. Smith was not a Mason and I have no knowledge of how or when he acquired it. He was a coin collector and had a wide and valuable collection. His challenge to me was to find its source, apparently he had made cursory and unsuccessful probes.
The medallion is 18-carat gold (assayed by Everts Jewelers, Dallas, Texas), weighs 1.2 ounces, and is approximately 50 millimeters in diameter. It is in perfect condition except for a slight tinge where the assay was made.
On one side of the medallion is what appear to be three persons of Mexican origin. The square and compass appears to the right of the figures, and the border is a depiction of Masonic tools of the trade. On the medallion is printed Ala Masoneria Contenente Americana (Masons of the American Continent).
On the other side of the medallion appear what seem to be three persons of United States origin. A Mexican National has told me that the man in the middle is the first president of Mexico, and the other two are Thomas
Jefferson and Woodrow Wilson. On the border are the tools of Masonry as we know them in the States. On this side of the medallion is printed Libertad Igualdad Fraternidad (Liberty Equality Fraternity). I am interested in determining the source and value, of course, of the medallion. All leads will be appreciated. Please see the attached photographs for pictorial review.
