By the 1960&#039;s the U.S.S. Olympia, Admiral Dewey&#039;s Flagship during the great navel battle, was desperately in need of repairs and restoration. In order to fund the Olympia&#039;s restoration the Cruiser Olympia Association had one of the Olympia&#039;s Bronze propellers melted and struck into commemorative medals which were sold to the general public. The medals were struck in two sizes. This is the larger 75.5 mm medal. There is also a much more common 31mm medal utilizing the same design.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
