Franklin Mint History of the United States Solid Bronze Medal Set Coxey's Army Marches on Washington 1894 and America Enters the Horseless Age 1895
This set features two medals from the Franklin Mint's History of the United States series struck in solid bronze with a proof-like finish. The first medal commemorates the spring of 1894 when Coxey's Army of unemployed men marched on Washington, featuring a detailed reverse inscription regarding the march and the designation of Labor Day. The second medal marks 1895 as the year America enters the horseless age, depicting an early automobile with a reverse describing the Duryea car and the formation of the Anti-Saloon League. Both medals are housed in their original Franklin Mint paper display folder, which identifies the composition as solid bronze. These medals showcase high-relief sculptural detail and serve as a significant numismatic record of late 19th-century American historical milestones.

Condition: The medals appear to be in excellent condition, housed within their original descriptive display card which shows minor signs of shelf wear.
