The reverse bears four flute-playing centaurs riding left on dark-patinated upper field; beneath their hooves, SOUTH CAROLINA. Lower field showing incuse reflection of upper field with reverse patination.
This was the 14th of the prestigious Brookgreen Gardens member medals, issued in 1986. The design falls into John Cook's Centaur period. The medal's obverse is very similar to a beautiful Centaur medallion he made at about the same time.
The circular medal measures 76mm in diameter and was struck in bronze by the Medallic Art Company. No mintage is reported.
