Anyone have any knowledge of this medal?

I'll post what information I have found out later.

Designed by Victor David Brener.

Are there any markings on the edge? It looks like it may be pewter, but it could be "antiqued" silver. It looks like a relatively new piece that was produced by a private company like MACO, Danbury or Franklin.

What a coincidence! I was just looking at some other medals on eBay when I came across a similar item, #320070505715. There were six different designs produced by MACO from 1961-1965 to honor specific engravers. This one is for Augustus St. Gaudens. They were produced in antique silver and copper.

Yep. That one auction has as much information as I was able to find on the internet in the last six months!

All I can find is the reverse is "Mercury kneeling on cloud with caduceus, petasos, shields of Prussia."

I have more information on these someplace, but it might be some time before I find anything.
