Description

The obverse bears a phantastic "space scape" with space shuttle in front of Jupiter and moons; stylized gas cloud in background. Signed at bottom, BINDER

The reverse bears a space rocket superimposed over a hot air balloon. Around circumference, (twentythree stars) / AIR AND SPACE BICENTENNIAL

The edge is marked MACO © 1984 ERWIN BINDER SC.

This is one of the most beautiful medals with "space" as a subject that I know. Binder was of course more than casually interested in air and space as he had served in the U.S. Air Force in the 1950s.

The medal measures 76mm in diameter. It was struck in bronze by the Medallic Art Company of Danbury, Connecticut. No mintage is reported.
