French Agricultural Medal Vintage Prize Angouleme 1956 Hippique 13012614

French Agricultural Medal

This authentic French agricultural medal from 1956 represents rural heritage from Angouleme, awarded by the Hippique d'Angouleme organization as a Grand Prix de la Ville d'Angouleme prize. These commemorative pieces recognized excellence in farming and animal husbandry competitions central to French country traditions.

The oval-shaped medal displays raised lettering against red enamel background, framed by weathered bronze or brass border. Decorative scrollwork at the top includes a hanging loop, while the patinated metal surface shows authentic aging consistent with genuine vintage origins. The formal typography reflects the pride French communities maintained in agricultural competitions.

Measuring 13.5cm x 9.5cm (5.3" x 3.7"), this substantial piece shows vintage patina and wear appropriate to its age. The red enamel remains largely intact despite decades of aging. Text clearly identifies the awarding organization and city, with "3e Prix" indicating third place recognition in this historic competition.

This French agricultural medal serves as documentation of mid-20th century rural French life and makes an interesting addition to collections focused on agricultural history, French regional memorabilia, or vintage sporting awards.
