Longines is a watchmaker that sponsored a classical orchestra radio show in the 1940s called the Longines Symphonette. There were several different collections of silver medals made in the 1970's to cross-promote the radio show and the Longines watch brand. This collection was produced along with Wittnauer Precious Metals Guild.

This medal comes from a series of 40 medals. These were sold in complete sets, or in little red boxes that held two medals each. The boxes were labeled The Wittnauer Precious Metal Guild / Symphonette Square, Larchmont, N.Y. 10538 / Makers of Fine Medallic Art.
