AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY OF NEW SOUTH WALES, 1873, prize medal in bronze (89mm), reverse inscribed, 'Dr March/Copper Ores &c./(Class) 522/1873'. A few contact marks and some small oxidation spots, otherwise good very fine.
Dr Daniel March was from Maryborough, Queensland and he was awarded the above medal for a carefully arranged and labelled collection of minerals and coals. He was highly regarded for his application of his knowledge in respect to agricultural chemistry as well as mining and in fact in 1873, because of the number of enquiries he received, he decided to produce a small mineralogical textbook suitable for determining the nature of a mineral.
