Description

The medal's obverse bears view of One IBM Plaza in Chicago, Illinois.

The reverse bears legend, One / IBM Plaza / Dedication / September 20 / 1972 / Chicago / Illinois

This very bare medal is actually quite interesting in its minimalist design. The building is of course an ugly 1970's sky-scraper, but the artist chose to forgo the traditional perspective rendering and instead go for an architectural view of the building.

I appreciate this medal as a fairly unique piece of architectural memorabilia.

The circular medal measures 64mm in diameter and was struck in bronze. No mintage is reported.
