French Vintage Agricultural Medal Le Touquet 1961 Prize Plaque 08022613

French Agricultural Medal

This authentic French agricultural medal represents rural French tradition from 1961, awarded at the prestigious Grand Prix de la Ville du Touquet competition. This commemorative plaque honors France's longstanding agricultural excellence and livestock breeding competitions, proudly displayed by farmers demonstrating superior agricultural craftsmanship.

The cast metal plaque displays raised lettering with "St Hippique du Touquet" around the curved border. The central inscription reads "1961 Grand Prix de la Ville du Touquet 3e Prix," marking this as a third-place award. The metal surface shows distinctive green verdigris patina against bronze-toned areas, creating authentic aged coloration characteristic of vintage French medals.

Measuring 12cm x 11.5cm (4.7" x 4.5"), the plaque features a hanging loop at the top for display purposes. The raised text remains clearly legible despite the natural patina development over decades. The metal construction appears solid with good structural integrity and typical age-appropriate surface oxidation.

This agricultural medal serves as compelling documentation of French rural heritage and farming competitions. Collectors of French memorabilia, agricultural history enthusiasts, and those interested in Le Touquet regional artifacts will find particular value in this documented prize plaque.
