Hi. I just found this today and would like to know what it is and if it has any value. It says "TH. JEFFERSON PRESIDENT OF THE U.S.A. 1801" on the front. And the back says "OREGON HISTORICAL SOCIETY incorparated december 17, 1898" " peace and freindship" on the back. Ive seen others similar online but none with the oregon historcal society on them. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thamk you very much.
I have no idea about the value but I did find this: "In 1899, the newly formed Oregon Historical Society acquired one of the small medals Lewis and Clark had handed out nearly a century before. Although in poor shape, the Jefferson peace medal was one of the few surviving material reminders that the Corps of Discovery had passed through the Pacific Northwest. Soon after receiving the rare artifact, the Society adopted the design on the back of the medal as its seal, which is still in use today." The Oregon History Project
