Item Description
1.5" with scene of several ships passing through the canal with a sunburst in the background. Surrounding text reads "The Land Divided/The World United/Panama Canal." Reverse of the piece is stamped "Sterling" and has raised text reading "Gorgona Lodge No.685/Canal Zone/Panama/1906-I.A. of M.-1913." While no name is engraved on the reverse the initials stand for International Association of Machinists and likely this piece was produced as a souvenir for those engaged in the building of the canal. Trivial tarnish. Essentially Mint as issued.
