Bronze two-piece medal for the 1913 fiftieth anniversary of the battle honoring New York troops. In contrast to the New York 1893 Gettysburg medal, which was intended strictly for veterans of the battle and featured the state seal and battlefield monument, the 1913 bronze medals focused on the theme of reconciliation, with a Union and Confederate soldier shaking hands in the oval panel on the top pin bar, framed by the dates 1863 and 1913, over a ribbon reading “New York – Gettysburg,” and portrait busts of both Meade and Lee in a central circle on the hanging cross that has crossed rifles at top, cannon at the bottom and a US shield superimposed on two swords at either side.
There is rubbing to the central panel with the Meade and Lee portraits. There is no loss of detail, but the color is lighter and somewhat mottled. The hook and pin on the upper bar are present, but flattened. [sr]
