The collection contains one artifact, a medallion commemorating the twenty-fifth anniversary of the North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts. The medallion appears to be bronze, and it measures roughly 1 inch by 1.5 inches. It was cast by Whitehead and Hoag of Newark, New Jersey (faintly indicated on the back). The front has the college seal and this text: "25th Anniversary, 1889 1914." The medal was found during the 1970s or 1980s in Pullen Park (near the university's Bagwell Hall) in Raleigh, North Carolina.
