This very attractive medal was produced to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the invention of the reaper by Cyrus McCormick.  One side (first photo) features the bust of McCormick
, with his full name
CYRUS HALL McCORMICK
along the upper rim, his birth and death years (1809; 1884) to the left of the bust, and the phrase

to the right of the bust.  The other side shows a horse-drawn reaper in use, with
INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER COMPANY
