Hi everyone, didn't see a thread this weekend for copper so I thought I would take this opportunity to show off my new pickups.

"The official souvenir medal to commemorate Connecticut's Tercentenary. It will be in bronze and about three inches in diameter. The design is by Henry Kreis who has cooperated with Paul Manship in producing some of the outstanding medals of recent years.



On the obverse of the medal is a group of early settlers dominated by the tall figure of Thomas Hooker, and there is a scroll on which appears the phrase 'Connecticut 1635 - 1935.'



A somewhat modernized representation of the coat of arms of the State appears on the reverse. The three vines with the nine clusters of grapes are shown, and among the vines, vertically placed, are the words 'Religion,' 'Law,' 'Education,' representing Connecticut's traditional adherence to 'Religion in a deep sense, Education in a broad sense, and Law in common sense.' Below these words is the motto 'Qui Transtulit Sustinet (variously defined as "He Who Transplanted Still Sustains" and "He Who Transplanted Continues to Sustain).' About the circumference runs the phrase 'Three Centuries of self-Government Based on Constitutional Liberty' in recognition of the fact that there has existed in Connecticut for three hundred years a form of self-government which followed the principles expressed in the Fundamental Orders of 1639."1
