Question
i have a california collection medal. it has a bear, a quail, and a flower on the front . on the back it has El Capitan. do you know anything about this medal?
Hello, sorry I have never heard of this medal and am not an expert in either California exonumia or medals. I can only suggest that you go to www.ebay.com and do a search for something like California medal, El Capitan with variations and see if someone is selling something like what you have or go to www.google.com and try a similar search. Sorry I couldn't be more help, Jim Lawniczak
