Scarce 1910 Girls' Education Award Medal in Geography
Coins
Scarce 1910 French girls' education medal for excellence in Geography. Bronze, with diameter of 1.75". The front of the medal depicts Terpsichore, the Greek muse of education, seated beside a pedestal of laurel wreaths; in her outstretched right hand is a laurel wreath prepared as a reward for excellence. On the back of the medal is engraved in part: "Association Pour L'Ensegnement Secondaire des Jeunes Filles a la Sorbonne...Geographie...1910" [in English: Association For The Secondary Education of Young Women at the Sorbonne...Georgraphy...1910]This medal, awarded for excellence in the study of geometry, is quite scarce. While our research located medals from later years from other schools, we were unable to locate a similar early medal for the celebration of young women's academic excellence.
