Two production sample medallions leftover from unsold inventory after the 2016 bankruptcy of Medallic Art Company / Northwest Territorial Mint. The larger is a full five inches in diameter with a highly ornamented knight in armor holding an Alaska state flag (Big Dipper and North Star motif) while riding a charger draped in a stylized American flag and holding a shield with the Gothic-style letters J T S on the obverse. The reverse is a large blank cartouche surrounded by the Latin words, Imperium (Authority), Sacrificum (Sacrifice), Integritas (Integrity), and Fidelitas (Fidelity), each separated by a sword and shield icon similar to the one carried by the knight. This medallion is edgemark/engraved Johnson's Tire Service. The second medallion is 3-9/16-inch diameter, uniface, and bears the insignia of the Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences, est. 1916, with the Latin words, Recte Faciendo Neminem Time, which roughly translates as "Do Right Without Fear." It is MACO number 2005-079, which is stamped into the edge. Both medallions have a finely brushed antiqued finish. See photo for design details.
