French Antique Agricultural Medal Bronze Award 1868 Puy Competition 0309244

French Agricultural Medal

This French agricultural medal represents authentic 19th-century rural heritage from the Second Empire period. Dating from 1868, this bronze award was presented at the Concours Agricole du Puy, recognizing excellence in agricultural products and livestock breeding among French farmers and producers of the era.

The medal displays period typography with raised lettering arranged in circular formation. The text reads "CONCOURS AGRICOLE DU PUY - 1868 - PRODUITS AGRICOLES - MEDAILLE D'ARGENT" across the bronze surface. The patinated finish shows the characteristic aging of 19th-century French metalwork, while maintaining clear, bold lettering that demonstrates the craftsmanship of French medal-making during this period.

Measuring 23cm in diameter (9 inches), this French agricultural medal retains its original hanging loop and authentic presentation. The bronze surface displays natural patina consistent with age, and the raised lettering remains well-defined. Such competition medals were highly valued prizes that celebrated agricultural skill and dedication in rural France.

This historical medal serves as documentation of France's agricultural heritage and makes a distinctive addition to collections of French antiques, agricultural memorabilia, or 19th-century awards.
