<B>1873 Medal Commemorating the 2nd Anniversary of the Famous Chicago Fire.</B></I> White metal, 52 mm, 43.4 gm. The obverse depicts an angel with sword in right hand and flaming torch in left, flying over a burning Chicago. The obverse was first paired with a different reverse, depicting a phoenix rising from the flames, with a legend stating that that Mint medal, Julian CM-13, was "MADE FROM CHICAGO COURT HOUSE" (the metal courthouse bell). The second use, a private striking, commemorates the second anniversary of the Chicago Fire of 1871. The new reverse reads in the center, "Made at the Inter-State Industrial Exposition of Chicago, Oct. 1873 Chicago rebuilt, Pop.400,000 in 1823 pop 50 dedicated in Gratitude to the World." Both medals were the work of William Barber, who became the chief engraver at the U.S. Mint in 1869 upon the death of James B. Longacre. <BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
