Bottom one looks like a token from the Brussels world's Fair in 1905
"World Fair organized to Liege from April 27th to November 6th, 1905 at the time of the 75th birthday of the independence of the Belgium."

I was hoping someone could translate the reverse of the medals for me....I believe the edge of the medal reads "one for all and all for one" and according to googles translater,the rest translates into "Grand celebration mutualist" but what the heck does that mean?
I dont believe the google translation is correct...
Zohan...That is a lot nicer medal than what I have,is it gold?....want to trade?

These are bronze. I just purchased them as an addition to collection. What's your area of focus?

Heck....my area of Focus is anything that looks interesting....probably mostly Art Nouveau....but these seem to be getting more and more expensive as the weeks go by! Ive posted this one before but it is by far my favorite medal,it is made of silver (marked Argent)and weighs 2 ounces....The surprising thing to me is,I only paid 20.00 including shipping in an ebay auction from seller "Mattoxcoinandstamps"!If anyone could tell me more about it,including a ballpark value,I would be very grateful!! I Have learned that T. Coulthard made steam powered engines for trucks and other vehicles in the UK...but....not much else   |

Zohar....You are the best,apparently youre much better at researching than I am!...Did you find all that info by googling?...I certainly didnt find that much!
Your medals are Fantastic looking....How do you store yours,or do you display them?
Also,I have the second medal you posted of The boy seeding the fields in silver....which I really really like!

I store them in trays. The boy seeding the field is an agriculture medal issued in the early 20th century.
