Description: Fantastic historical bronze medal commemorating GEORGE RICHARDS MINOT (1885-1950) an American medical researcher who shared the 1934 Nobel Prize with George Hoyt Whipple and William P. Murphy for their pioneering work on Pernicious Anemia, dated 1974. The Medal is about 44 mm across, and weighs about 58.5 g. The medal was designed by Abram Belskie, an artist and sculptor that combined two disparate disciplines – art and medicine, was issued by Presidential Art Medal, New York (N.Y.) for the 50 Men of Medicine series, and struck by the Medallic Art Company. The edge Lettering reads: MACO - NY - BRONZE. A bit of history. Dr. Minot was born in Boston, Massachusetts. Minot had diabetes mellitus, which he developed in 1921, also a fatal disease at the time. Dr. William Castle observed that Frederick Banting's and Charles Best's discovery of insulin in 1921, not only transformed diabetes treatment, but, by keeping Minot alive, also contributed towards the discovery of a cure for pernicious anemia. The Obverse of the medal features Dr. Minot facing right with a rendering of laboratory laboratory beakers, flasks, test tubes with a microscope on the right side. The reverse of the medal depicts the Old North Church, North Square, Boston (a Unitarian church). Featured in a band across the center background of the medal are ancient physicians administering to patients advancing to images of more 19th-20th century depictions, progressing to a physician lecturing to a group of physicians or medical students.
