I have been a collector (or hoarder) for years. My passion is with anything older than I am (nope, I'm not revealing that!). If it's old, vintage, antique, collectible, rare, odd, unusual, funky, original, one of a kind, eclectic, shabby chic, I probably have had it at one time or another. My storage area is bursting at the seams so I need to start downsizing. If you are looking for something unique to treasure you're at the right spot. This Beautiful World War I Victory medal was designed by the same person who designed our buffalo nickel, James Earl Fraser. His name is toward the bottom of the metal on the right just above the mound. Below is information regaridng the history of this medal. In addition, it has a single bar which says, OVERSEAS. Made of bronze, and in nice condition. Email me with any questions. To celebrate the winning of WWI, the Allies got together and agreed to the following: 1. A medal of the Great War shall be created and be called the Victory Medal. 2. It shall be distributed under conditions to be determined by each government. 3. The ribbon, identical for all countries, will represent two rainbows placed in juxtaposition in such a manner as will bring the red in the middle. [An American, Army Col. T. Bentley Mott, is credited with the ribbon design.] 4. The medal shall be bronze, round, its diameter 36 mm. 5. The final design of the medal itself shall be left up to the respective countries. a. On the obverse will be represented a figure of Victory -- winged, standing, full length and full face. The background and border will be plain and bear no inscription or date. b. The reverse will bear the inscription "The Great War for Civilization" in the language of the country concerned and will show the names of the various Allied and Associated nations or indicate their coats of arms. c. The edge will be plain. The various countries' final interpretation of this design criteria is a curious chapter in itself but beyond the scope of this presentation.
