A Short History of Awards and Trophies
Awards and trophies are actually applied to mark outstanding victories because the old occasions. The English word awards and trophies itself was derived from the French trophée in 1513, "a spoil or prize of war", from Latin trophaeum meaning 'monument to victory'.
In historic Greece, trophies themselves had been produced around the battlefields of victorious battles from captured arms and standards, and were hung upon a tree or even a significant stake manufactured to resemble a warrior. These were being frequently inscribed having a story from the battle and dedicated to several gods. trophies awards made for naval victories at times consisted of overall ships (or what remained of them) laid out for the beach. To destroy a Trophies and Medals was thought to be a sacrilege and an unforgivable crime.
The ancient Romans on the other hand kept their trophies a lot closer to residence. They developed magnificent trophies in Rome, as well as columns and arches atop excellent foundations. Unfortunately a lot of the stone trophies that once adorned substantial stone memorials in Rome have been long since stolen.
Moving on into the Middle Ages, chalices have been frequently provided to winners of sporting occasions at the very least as early as the quite late 1600s. As an example the Kyp Pot (manufactured by silversmith Jesse Kyp), a modest two-handled sterling cup in the Henry Ford Museum, was given towards the winner of your horse race among two towns in New England in about 1699. Chalices, specifically, are linked with sporting events, and ended up traditionally produced in silver. Winners of horse races, and later on boating and early automobile races, were being the normal recipients of those trophies. The Davis Cup, Stanley Cup, and numerous World Cups are all now popular cup-shaped trophies offered to sports winners.
These days, trophies are much much less pricey, and hence much far more pervasive, thanks to mass-produced plastic trophies. If you are seeking good quality even so, there are various specialist firms that deal with developing an extensive assortment of crystal awards and glass trophies, bespoke awards, desk products, important rings, paperweights, and promotional gifts.
Trophies can take the shape of two-handled cups, bowls, or mugs (all commonly engraved); statues of people, animals, and architecture while displaying words, numbers or images. Many different variations are accessible, and it truly is totally up into the buyer which type and design and style they prefer for their ceremony. Styles consist of the dome tower, steeple, tapered portrait, cube and monochrome.
I have a 2004 Freedom Tower Silver Dollar that on the rim says 100 Mil Clad. Is this worth more than a dollar?
Probably. 100 mil clad means it has a very thin silver plating on it, it is not solid silver all the way through. It has some value as a collectors' item. You might look on ebay and see what others like it are there, adn for how much.
