MORE ON SCHOOLCHILD REWARD OF MERIT MEDALS

Tom Casper of Muskego, Wisconsin writes:

I was glad to learn of the book, Rewards of Merit, mentioned in The E-Sylum last week. I first learned about these Reward of Merit items from the book, College Currency, 1993, by Herb and Martha Schingoethe, pages 28-30.

Since that time I have formed a small collection of both the certificates and medals. The medals are much less common than the certificates. I have only three medals in my collection. Here are scans and descriptions of the three.

1 - Reward of Merit Medal, star obv 1 - Reward of Merit Medal, star rev

Search the Scripture//Award of Merit Star-shaped, copper, 23mm x 26mm
