Classic older style Cal State Ag medal. 1 3/4" diameter. silver (unmarked sterling?). Allegorical vignettes of California on obverse, including mining. No engraver or maker initials. Awarded to "Shaw, Ingram Batcher & Co. for best machine made horse shoes"". Poor. No raised rims. Dug. Worn. Pitted in places. Appears original, but the die strike is very weak. Possibly not all silver, does not pass the "ring" test, but the engraving looks original, and why make a fake. California 1890 HWAC# 31740
