1909 tercentenial medallion

[DIRTSWEEPER]

Hey hey fellow treasure hunters,
I found this medallion last week but it was in need of some cleaning befor I was able to figure out what it was. It was to celebrate the discovery of Lake Champlain back in 1609. They held the tercentenial along the vermont and new york shore of the lake in 1909, and mine was found in Plattsburgh. HH
