French Vintage Agricultural Medal Bronze 1952 Livestock Prize Award 08022617

French Agricultural Medal

This authentic French agricultural medal commemorates the longstanding tradition of livestock competitions that have recognized farming excellence throughout France. Awarded in 1952 by the Societe Hippique Wallone, this bronze prize medal celebrates achievements in animal husbandry and reflects the agricultural heritage of the Walloon region.

Cast in bronze with raised lettering, the medal displays characteristic patina and weathering consistent with its seven-decade history. The detailed French text honors the Concours de Paris competition, while decorative border elements frame the inscription. The medal bears the inscription indicating obstacle trials and shows the design sensibilities typical of mid-century French agricultural awards.

Measuring 16.5cm in diameter (6.5 inches), this substantial piece exhibits honest wear appropriate to its age, including natural surface patina and aging that confirms its authentic provenance. The suspension loop remains intact, and the raised text remains clearly legible despite the accumulated patina. Surface oxidation and weathering patterns are consistent with genuine bronze composition and outdoor agricultural settings.

This French agricultural medal would appeal to collectors of farming memorabilia, French regional history, or vintage sporting awards. Such pieces document the rural competition culture that celebrated livestock breeding and agricultural skill across French provinces.
