Beautiful 1886 25 Mile Bicycle Road Race Medal in Coin Silver, Hand-Engraved & Enameled

Beautiful 1186 25 Mile Bicycle Road Race medial in coin silver, hand engraved and enameled. The bar reads: "THIRD" and the suspended planchet shows a lovely floral embellishment and in the center it reads: "ROAD RACE 1186".
