I came across this 1981 Allstate 50th Anniversary item this week as well. Corporate anniversary medals and tokens are a genre of their own; I'll bet there's a book to be
written on them someday. Here's a modern piece with a spare, simple design. I imagine these were given to employees and clients. -Editor
