A charming snapshot of the city with its iconic bridge which would be removed four decades later. Lovely hints of cobalt on the medal surfaces; marks in the soft metal indicative of the grade. Attractive. Note that the "R-415a" designation on the holder is in error; R-415c is the correct designation for a white metal specimen in the most recent edition of Richter.
