Vintage Bicentennial / Scorpio Large Medallion with Chain

This uncommon medallion commemorating the United States Bicentennial also pays homage to those under the zodiac sign Scorpio, in a pocket watch motif.

The top shows the familiar image of the small fife and drum band; the bottom half has a mysterious design. 

On the reverse, a scorpion motif is centered to catch the eye, and around the edges are the zodiac symbol for Scorpio, the dates Oct 24-Nov22. At the bottom of the medallion, the word Scorpio appears. On both top and bottom, preceding and following each dates or words, are the symbols for Scorpio, and all letter are upper case. The top of the medallion has a detail which closely resembles the top of a pocket watch. The medallion itself measures 1.75" across; the chain measures 24" inches long.
