Civil War Confederate Medal, View Of Houston Texas On The Obverse, Star On Rev
1880's Large, Attractive, Detailed Confederate States Civil War Medal, Showing A View Of The City Of Houston, Texas, In The Clouds, With Stars In The Sky Above and the moon to the right. The other side pictures a large Star, surrounded by "Houston, Texas", within a wreath.
The medal is chocolate color Bronze, 38 mm in diameter, almost uncirculated condition, with a small hole, as made. I estimate the 1880's era or earlier, by judging the bronze color finish and the carefully detailed style of the obverse and reverse, not found on later medals. A scarce and desirable Civil War Confederate States Medal.
