Nice looking souvenir medallion in brass showing a beautiful 3 story commercial masonry building located on a corner location in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, commemorating the opening of the Homewood Peoples Bank there.

Obverse legend reads;
HOMEWOOD PEOPLES BANK / (Front View Building) / PITTSBURGH, PA.

The reverse shows within a wreath of berries and leaves whit ribbon bow below, the following legend:

1905 / OPENING OF / NEW BUILDING / SAVINGS AND / COMMERCIAL BANKING / SAFE DEPOSIT BOXES. / JOSEPH R. PAULL, PRESIDENT / JOHN F. BAXTER VICE PRESIDENT / H.F. LINNENERINK, CASHIER

At very bottom on rim;
THE WHITEHEAD & HOAG CO. NEWARK, N.J. (The maker)

Medallion shows some handling and wear, with some dark spots here and there, overall very decent and difficult token to find. Likely a scarce souvenir medal.
