    I agree.

    The Uruguay 1930 5 pesos gold coin (also for the Constitution Centennial) would make an excellent companion piece for the medal.

    Nice, but I prefer medals that are at least 50 mm.

    Thanks all--Lynch, I think I will get the gold piece to go with it. They are pretty cheap,as far as gold goes. And Steve, I wish it were bigger too. I'm looking at a medal now that is 4 inches. That's a little big for my taste but I really like the design.

    The gold coin has been easier to find in the last couple of years. I think a small hoard must have come on the market & is now slowly being dispersed.

    I can't recall ever seeing another example of your medal, so I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be harder to find than the coin.

    Nice catch. Had I seen it, you would have had to pay significantly more to get it.image
