The reverse depicts and Indian offering a peace pipe to a Dutch settler, ship in background, beaver below, rimmed by 'New Netherland, Founded 1614'. Marked around the edge 'To Honor and Welcome the British and French War Commissions - May 1917'. The medal is 1 3/8" diam. 1 3/4" wide bar. 3 3/4" long overall. Very good condition, a bit of grime on obverse, small edge nicks. I guarantee absolute satisfaction or your money back.
