BAKER S-324A Washington Monument at Philadelphia / Society of the Cincinnati 
Designed by Peter L. Krider and struck by August C. Frank Co., this 76 mm diameter white metal medal is almost 10 mm thick.
Professor Rudolph Siemerling of Berlin, Germany accepted the commission of the Pennsylvania Society of the Cincinnati in 1877 to create a monument to Washington, and it was unveiled in Fairmount Park on May 15, 1897 by President William McKinley. Also present at the ceremony were Vice President Garret Hobart, French Ambassador Jules Patenotre, the governors of Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey, the mayors of Philadelphia and New York, the Secretaries of Treasury, War, Agriculture and Interior, the Postmaster General, Attorney-General, senior Army and Navy officers, the entire Pennsylvania General Assembly, and many other dignitaries. The Society of the Cincinnati had begun collecting funds for this monument in 1810. The presiding officer of the ceremonies was Major William Wayne, great grandson of General "Mad" Anthony Wayne of Revolutionary War fame. The silver composition medals were presented to official guests and dignitaries at the unveiling ceremony and subsequent banquet that evening.

You can still see the monument at Fairmount Park in Philadelphia.
This is the first and only S-324A I've ever seen in my time of collecting Washingtonia. The only other example I know of is noted in Baker as having been sold by Rich Hartzog in September 1984.
