constanius Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 This medal was made from the first batch of metal from the first water powered aluminium smelter. DE NACH DEAN AN T'UISGE, 'NUAIR A RINN E MISE. = What water can not do, when it can make me. Construction of the smelting works began in 1904 and was completed in 1909, but aluminium was produced in a temporary smelter in 1907. 38mm RRR.

elverno Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 Very nice. My dad worked his entire life in aluminum plants including a six month stint at one in Wales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
