A two-piece medal by Whitehead and Hoag, with bronze tones. Top pinback bar, somewhat art-nouveau in style, with flowing foliate border reading at center, “VETERAN / U.C.V. / RICHMOND, 1907” in raised letters. The medal itself prominently shows the Jefferson Davis Memorial, which had been unveiled in 1907 on Davis’s birthday, June 3, with the UCV reunion timed to coincide. Davis’s statue is shown on a pedestal at lower center, with the tall column behind it topped by a statue representing southern womanhood, and a colonnade behind it with columns representing the various Confederate states.

The medal has the dates “1861” and “1865” on scrolls to either side, superimposed on leafy branches, likely laurel, which are also shown crossed at bottom center. The edge has a stippled border into which the statue at top of the column intrudes, and bears in small, raised letters, “TO JEFFERSON DAVIS / PRESIDENT OF THE CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA.”

The medal retains a good deal of its light, coppery finish on the face, with some rubs, but  just a touch of thin verdigris at top right of the suspension bar and the planchet, with some small flecks on the columns. An attractive medal all in all. Please see our photos.  [sr][ph:m/L]
