publius Pillar of the Community United States 807 Posts	Posted 06/09/2023 12:15 pm At one time it was very common to present medals to students who did well in school. These ranged from crude, locally-made pieces to quite artistic mint products. I don't think it is a subject which has been well catalogued. Report this Post to the Staff
