=== Description ===
This curious medal is very similar to one owned by the late Bro. Henry Price, first “Provincial Grand Master for all America,” and which, falling into the possession of Bro. Marvin, was the
means of attracting him to the study of Masonic medals. The Price medal had the field cut out, forming a pierced jewel. The present one, however, has the field or ground left in, and is of
finely stamped fretwork. One of the pierced kind will also be found in this collection (No. 28).

OBVERSE .—Within a circle bearing the words “Amor, Honor, at Justitia” (love, honour, and justice), and divided into quarters by the letters N. E. S. W. are two pillars, upon the top of
which is a level; the square and compasses on the Bible, above; the top of the level and the joint of the compasses being together nearly in the centre. On the right of these the sun, a gavel,
and two crossed pens; on the left the crescent moon, a plumb, and a scroll, on which is the forty-seventh proposition of Euclid. From the top of the plumb diagonally to the foot of the
right hand pillar is the twenty.four inch gauge.

REVERSE.—The same description applies to the reverse, except that objects are reversed relatively to each other. On the rim of the circle, at the bottom, “Sit lux et mx fuit” (Let there be
light, and there was light). At the top, the All-seeing Eye between A.M. and 5763.

A loop is attached, by which it was worn suspended by a ribbon, and was doubtless a member’s jewel. It is rare.
=== Properties ===
43 mm. Silver.
