The obverse bears a gazelle in dynamic pose, front legs in air and neck arched backwards. Above, BROOKGREEN GARDENS; below, SOUTH CAROLINA
The reverse bears Carolina wren in dense rhododendron foliage.
This was the fifth of the prestigious Brookgreen Gardens member medals, issued in 1977. It is one of my personal favorites from the series and seems to be sought after by collectors.
The medal measures 76mm in diameter and was struck in bronze by the Medallic Art Company. No mintage is reported.
