Medals relating to Columbia University
Please let me know if I missed a Columbia-related medal that is already on this site but not part of this collection. Also, kindly bring Columbia medals to my attention that I might be interested in adding to this page.
The obverse bears a figure of an ancient female in flight, holding torch with snake. Around, COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS & SURGEONS / COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY; in lower left, ABRAM / BELSKIE / Sc. The reverse bears the portal to Presbyterian Hall; around, TWO HUNDREDTH ANNIVERSARY / 1767 (crown) 1967.
Belskie designed this medal for the 200 year anniversary celebration of Columbia University's medical school.
The medal measures 76mm (3in) in diameter and was struck in bronze by the Medallic Art Company of New York.
