Comment
This was part of a series of 100 historical medals in 2 volumes of 50 made by the Wellings Mint (Wellings Mint was assimilated by the Franklin Mint in 1973). There was a limited run of around 1000 I believe, which is why the edge is numbered.
Made in bronze and sterling silver versions.
Alexander Graham Bell, born Alexander Bell; March 3, 1847 – August 2, 1922) was a Scottish-born, Canadian-American inventor, scientist, and engineer who is credited with patenting the first practical telephone. He also co-founded the American Telephone and Telegraph Company (AT&T) in 1885.
