Cross-eyed Pillar of the Community United States 849 Posts	Posted 06/04/2017 08:26 am Here is a medal,made by the US mint,that you don't see very often.It is struck on a .999 fine silver ASE planchet. The obverse has a portrait of Ben Franklin(looks pretty grumpy,like He just got up from one of His late night parties)and a firefighters helmet. The reverse shows a firefighter rescuing a child.

Quote: commens:If you'd like a bit more information about the piece, one of my previous posts might prove useful: 1993 Benjamin Franklin Firefighters Medal Thanks for the link.And I agree with You It should be collected right along side the commemorative "coins". I almost posted this in the "post your commemorative coins here" thread.But,technically,it isn't a coin,so I posted it over here instead.
