ThIs Gold Bronze Medallion Commemorates Ohio's one hundred and fiftieth birthday (1803-1953). It was designed by Erwin F. Frey, an Ohio Sculptor, and struck by the Medallic Art Company of New York. The obverse suggests the State's regard for practical education as symbolized by three allegorical figures, Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic, and the State's four staple activities, Agri-culture, Mining, Manufacturing, and Merchandizing. The reverse carries nine pictorial remarks: Present State House; Buckeye and Honey Bee; Corn; Horn of Plenty; Aviation; Grapes; Glass and Pottery; Serpent Mound; and Steel. In the center is the official symbol of the Sesquicentennial year.
