Couple interesting medallions...

[Ray in CA]

But I sure wish they were in better condition. The first is some sort of George Washington memorial. It's hard to read but it says his name at the bottom, then 1st President [of the] U.S.A. at top, and the dates 1789 to the left and 1797 to the right. Both the obverse and reverse are exactly the same.

The second one is really hard to make out. It almost appears to have a Caesars bust but I'm not really sure. The back is completely unreadable to me. Perhaps someone might have a clue??

I'm not sure of the metal content for either medallion. It looks to be potmetal but I can't be sure. They seem to be lighter in weight than would a coin of their size. Tried hot peroxide to clean them up but it didn't do much.

Both found in Pasadena in the same easement. The last pic is from under a neat old bridge in Pasadena that is still in use.

I know nothing about them, but I saw a coin in a book similar to that, can't remember exactly. Any how those are some great finds I hope someone can ID them for you

The George Washington medallion is cool...the other one is too far gone for me to hazard a guess on it.

My guess is 'ole George once slept under that bridge and the coin dropped outta his pocket.
