Ducks Unlimited Collector Series Bronze Commemorative Medallion
This item is a set of two circular commemorative medallions produced for Ducks Unlimited, an American non-profit organization dedicated to wetland conservation. The medallions are struck in a bronze-toned metal, likely a copper alloy or brass, exhibiting a deep reflective honey-gold finish. Each piece measures approximately 1.5 to 1.75 inches in diameter with a raised rim and reeded edges typical of high-quality numismatic strikes. The obverse of the first coin features a profile of a waterfowl amongst marsh reeds with the raised text 'DUCKS UNLIMITED'. The second coin features a detailed relief of a duck in flight or standing on a shoreline with circular text reading 'Collector Series Medallion' and smaller copyright or denominational text along the bottom rim. The surfaces show a mirror-like proof finish in the fields, contrasting with the frosted relief of the imagery. The condition appears to be excellent with no visible oxidized green patina (verdigris) or significant surface scratching, though slight handling smudges are present. These medallions were likely issued as part of a donor recognition program or a limited edition membership set, dating most likely from the late 20th century (1980s-1990s). The craftsmanship displays high-relief die-striking techniques, signifying a premium collectible item rather than standard currency.
