    Description

    Please examine photos. They are THIS item and are part of the description. I do not use stock photos or photos of other people’s items.
    This is a hard to find (I found only one other) presentation medal commemorating the construction of a railway from Apucarana to Ponta Grossa in the state of Parana Brazil by C.R. Almeida S/A in 1975. This example was silver plated then engraved reverse "Ao Senhor John Porges Morgan Guaranty Trust Co of New York". (Presumably Morgan Guaranty provided some financing for the project.) The only other example I found (see last two photos, not this medal, not included) was in a presentation box, was not silver plated and was not engraved reverse. Some of the silver plating on this example has been polished away. It is 70mm in diameter and weighs 95 grams.
