1937 Irish Silver Medal - Dramuideacht na Sgoil - Made in Cork by Roche

Selling a rare and beautifully engraved Irish silver medal awarded in 1937 for excellence in school drama (Dramuideacht na Sgoil). This is a unique and culturally significant piece of pre-Éire Ireland, awarded to:

Risteard Mac Amhlaoibh
Dramuideacht na Sgoil
1st Corcaigh (Cork)
1937

Obverse Design:
Features an intricate raised image of an Irish round tower, Celtic shield and helmet, and the national harp, framed by ornate zoomorphic motifs — typical of early Irish medal craftsmanship.

Reverse Engraving:
Fully hand-inscribed with the winner’s name and competition details, along with the maker’s mark “ROCHE, CORK” at the base and the initials “V.R.” at the top — likely the designer or issuing authority.

Collection available in Grange, Douglas
Postage optional at buyer’s expense

This is an unusual, non-sport medal, which is far rarer than typical GAA or military items from the same era. It carries local Cork provenance, Irish-language heritage, and historical significance — awarded the same year as Ireland’s 1937 Constitution.

Also open to bundle deals with my other Irish historical or coin lots.
