Silver medallion commemorating, on one side, the bicentennial of the United States (1776-1976) and on the other, the centennial (1876-1976) of Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, The donor told us that he paid $20.00 for this medallion at the Bank of Sturgeon Bay and that only 500 were minted.

The outer edge is printed with "Sturgeon Bay, Wis." above and "1876-1976 Centennial" below, with several star shapes serving as spacers.
