1975 Argus Salutes Jefferson Parish Thomas Jefferson Anniversary Commemorative Token

This appears to be a commemorative medal or token, likely made of a silver-toned metal, possibly nickel, silver-plated base metal, or a similar alloy, given its metallic sheen and reflective surface. The item is circular in shape, resembling a coin, with a raised outer rim. The obverse prominently features a detailed bust of Thomas Jefferson, depicted with period appropriate attire and hairstyle. Below the bust, the name "THOMAS JEFFERSON" is inscribed. Arcing around the top edge of the token are the words "ARGUS SALUTES JEFFERSON PARISH", indicating a specific community or organization (Argus) commemorating Jefferson Parish. The year "1975" is visible to the right of Jefferson's head. Along the bottom curve, the word "ANNIVERSARY" is partially visible, suggesting this token was issued for an anniversary event. The surface of the token is highly reflective, showing some glare and fingerprints which suggest it has been handled. Despite the reflections, the details of Jefferson's face, hair, and clothing are clearly defined, indicating good strike quality. There are no obvious signs of significant wear or major damage, such as deep scratches or dents, though some minor surface imperfections may be present due to handling or the manufacturing process. The overall condition appears to be good to excellent. The style suggests it belongs to the mid-20th century, specifically 1975, for a localized celebratory or commemorative purpose.
