<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 2031187, member: 39&quot;]Nice pieces, especially the coin from Uruguay. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Had no idea what the &quot;segunda epoca&quot; on the medal from Argentina referred to, so I briefly looked it up. Seems the institute was founded in 1872, then maybe dormant for a while, and founded again in 1934. So this would commemorate 20 years of this second epoch or stage.</p><p><br /></p><p>The story behind the CoA of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coat_of_arms_of_Buenos_Aires" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coat_of_arms_of_Buenos_Aires" rel="nofollow">Buenos Aires</a> is interesting too. As for the &quot;ribbon&quot; below the oak (?) twig, I wonder whether was intentionally left blank, or whether a member&#039;s/sponsor&#039;s name was supposed to be engraved there ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
