Described here is a Du Pont numismatic item pertinent to your upcoming article. This is a well-executed piece in excellent condition. I know of only one other copy of this. However, I expect several of these likely exist.

I had the Dow medal recently and it wasn't very popular! It seemed to be aluminum but, as an afterthought, why not magnesium alloy (instead of aluminum? Dow has been famous for years for producing magnesium material.
