It commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Frederick Academy in Oslo. According to Internet sources, the Frederick Academy (subsequently the Royal Frederick University) is now named the University of Oslo. It is the oldest, largest and most prestigious university in the Norwegian capital of Oslo. It was founded in 1811 and originally modeled after the University of Berlin. As you might guess, it was originally named after King Frederick of Denmark and Norway.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As mentioned, the medal obverse depicts a seated female offering a bowl to the kitty. The reverse consists of text within a wreath. This bronze medal is 42mm diameter with prooflike colorful toning on the fields.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
