ARGENTENIAN 1910 MARIANO MORENO NATIONAL COLLEGE INAUGURATION MEDAL M334

Rare--unable to find another like it that has previously come up for sale. Uncertain if the National College still exists or was renamed. Uncertain of composition as it is not marked on rim--perhaps it is silvered copper judging from the medal exposed on the thumb (see photo).

From Wikipedia:
Mariano Moreno (Spanish pronunciation: [maˈɾjano moˈɾeno]; September 23, 1778 – March 4, 1811) was an Argentine lawyer, journalist, and politician. He played a decisive role in the Primera Junta, the first national government of Argentina, created after the May Revolution. The National Library of the Argentine Republic is named for him.
