This coin found in Dads stuff after his passing. The coin is an awards coin for dairybreeds & reads as follows:  Ohio State Fair & Industrial Exposition / Issued by: State Board Of Agriculture  for Bull 2 Years or Over Grand Sweepstakes Dairybreeds.  The coin is 2 inchs Dia.  Coin is in its original case, 3" x 3". The outside is a burgendy color leather & inside is purple in three different sections. Embossed in gold lettering is,  Victor  D  Brenner Die Cutter and Medailteur, New York. Weight of coin is:  32.8 grams.  "The picture ingraved on one side is amazing...tiny & intrakit of mountains, the sun rising or setting over a field of trees & gathered wheat & what looks like swords in a bunch. I have tried emailing different historical societys all around Ohio. That was 2 years ago. "i am sorry i cannot post a picture.....i cannot figure out how to do this." I could easily send copies (in color) to anyone who is willing to help with more info.
