The obverse bears medallic version of Lawrie's bas-relief panel on face of Rockefeller center. God with crown and long wavy beard frowning from sky. Below, WISDOM AND / KNOWLEDGE SHALL BE / THE STABILITY / OF THY TIMES.
The reverse bears classic art deco view of building with sun behind and clouds on sides. Around, ROCKEFELLER CENTER.
In my opinion, this medal is probably among the top ten most beautiful American art-deco medals. Its obverse clearly picks up the motif of the 22' x 14' bas-relief panel over the entrance to 30 Rockefeller Plaza. That relief was designed and modeled by Lee Lawrie who also modeled this medal.
The circular medal measures 69.9mm in diameter and was struck in bronze by the International Silver Company on behalf of Rockefeller Center, Inc. The mintage was 500.
