French Agricultural Medal 1949 Maubeuge Hippique Prize Trophy Vintage 08022614

French Agricultural Medal

This authentic French agricultural medal from 1949 represents rural French heritage from the mid-20th century. Awarded at the Concours Hippique de Maubeuge, this ceremonial prize honored excellence in equestrian competitions in northern France. The inscription reveals its connection to the agricultural competitions that celebrated farming and livestock breeding achievements.

Cast in metal with raised lettering, this vintage award displays weathered patina and worn red paint finish that adds authentic character. The circular design features traditional French typography reading "PRIX DU CONSEIL GENERAL" indicating this prize came from the General Council. The text "CONCOURS HIPPIQUE DE MAUBEUGE" identifies the specific equestrian competition, while the year 1949 marks its historical significance.

The medal measures 16.5cm (6.5 inches) in diameter, creating a substantial display piece. At 75 years old, it shows honest wear consistent with its age, including surface oxidation and paint loss that speaks to decades of display. The original red coloring remains visible across much of the surface, contrasting with the darker metal beneath.

This piece serves as both historical documentation and decorative element for collectors of French agricultural memorabilia, equestrian items, or vintage prize medals.
