| Description | Alan V. Weinberg comments: Portland Oregon, not Maine. Decades ago I owned a high carat gold specimen with this same design but only perhaps 22 mm diameter. I've been trying to re-acquire it for decades. The medal is based on the Portland city seal, with the female figure representing Commerce. |
