A nicely toned, bronze two-piece medal for the 1913 fiftieth anniversary of the battle honoring New York troops. In contrast to the New York 1893 Gettysburg medal, which was intended strictly for veterans of the battle and featured the state seal and battlefield monument, the 1913 bronze medals focused on the theme of reconciliation, with a Union and Confederate soldier shaking hands in the oval panel on the top pin bar, framed by the dates 1863 and 1913, over a ribbon reading “New York – Gettysburg.” On the planchet overlapping portrait busts of both Meade and Lee side by side look in the same direction from a central circle on the hanging cross that has crossed rifles at top, cannon at the bottom and a US shield superimposed on two swords at either side. The hook and pin are present on the upper bar.  [ld][ph:L]
