Was given this token/medal to research. Just starting so any info is useful. Thanks in advance! It is silver, half dollar sized...

Page 27 here talks about the celebration at which I believe these medals were given. https://books.google.com/books?id=C...edal&f=false


Frustrating I can find the Menu from that night but no mention of the medal......arghhh!

Each guest was presented with a silver souvenir medal.
The officers and directors wore, as badges, similar medals of
gold.


So....definitely handed out at that dinner.....

Can't find a sale of one.....?

Can't help with the medal however I wanted to point out that the bank issued national bank notes.

In several Heritage lot descriptions for notes on this bank, state that the bank failed in 1908.

Thanks Meadowview. I had seen those also. This one is confounding to me. I've a friend who catalogs for Heritage, most amazing collection old catalogs I've ever seen, and he came up empty. Guess I will try to catch Anthony Swiatek at his shop and ask if he has ever seen one....will keep updating if I get any info.
