Uruguay 

1957 

National Chess Tournament

"Círculo Universitario de Ajedrez"

This is a beautiful and rare Art Deco style medal from the "Círculo Universitario de Ajedrez" (University Chess Club) of Uruguay. It was issued for the 1957 National Chess Tournament (Torneo Nacional).

The medal features a striking mid-century design, characteristic of the late Art Deco influence in South American numismatics. It is a fantastic piece of history for collectors of chess memorabilia or Latin American sporting medals.
