English: DESCRIPTION (from the medal's page on the Missouri Historical Society website):
"This gold medal given to Charles A. Lindbergh by Raymond Orteig and presented by Colonel Walter Scott on June 16, 1927 during a dinner at the Hotel Breevort in New York City. The medal was accompanied by a scroll and check for $25,000. This prize for the first person to fly nonstop from New York to Paris was established by Orteig in May 22, 1919 for a five-year time limit, but Orteig reactivated it in 1925 and named a Board of Trustees to oversee the fund. The medal, which was made by New York jewelry company Dieges & Clust, has a relief image of the "Spirit of St. Louis" in flight through clouds over the ocean. Lindbergh loaned the medal to the Missouri Historical Society in June 1927, and he gave it to the Society in 1933." |
