Did you know Felix Schlag ( Jefferson Nickel ) also designed medals?

    The Four Franklin Mint Sterling Silver medals
    designed by Felix Schlag.

    He won the contest for designing the "new" Jefferson Nickel for 1938.

    I don't know if he made other medals. I have read he had designed a Red Cross medal. These are ALL I have and got lucky to find a second Betsy Ross.

    1967 Paul Revere IFCS Felix Schlag Medal

    Sterling silver medal of the International (Free Mason) Fraternal Commemorative Society, United States. Only 1,266 of these coin-medals were minted as solid sterling silver proofs.

    Sterling silver medal of the National Commemorative Society
    5,249 of these coin-medals were minted as solid sterling silver proofs, and 3 were created as solid platinum proofs.

    I just noticed tonight for the first time that Felix Schlag finally had his way with using a very similar font that he wanted to use on the original Jefferson Nickel here on these medals.
    See this Full Step Nickel Club silver proof example for font. ( I have both proof & Unc ) It was changed before we saw our Jefferson 1938 nickel.
