Description
Australia's Commonwealth, 1899, in gold and enamel (tests as 9ct; 5.51g; 22.5mm) (C.1899/1 but modified), the reverse legend has been removed and replaced with an inscribed legend, 'H.Wirth, President, Shire of Marong', ring top suspension. Very fine.
On Thursday 14 September 1899 at a meeting of the Marong Shire Council, the retiring president, Councillor H.Wirth, presented the councillors and officers with suitably engraved gold medals in commemoration of the result of the Federal poll during his term of office. No doubt he would also have received one such medal.
