sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 12/06/2015 4:15 pm No denomination or evidence of an issuing authority to guarantee it's value, therefore a medal or medallette. Unfortunately lots of these are undocumented, so a full identification could be difficult. Report this Post to the Staff

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 12/06/2015 4:50 pm Spotted one with a similar reverse design: http://www.worthpoint.com/worthoped...al-medallion The linked one is, apparently, from 1918...so, if my FDR speculation is right (which it may well not be), then perhaps the designer of yours was using this older one as a reference?

Brian Mc Valued Member United States 124 Posts	Posted 12/06/2015 5:01 pm I think that it may be Woodrow Wilson. If I'm right, it is also a WWI medal like the one Bob L found on the net. Can anyone identify the two flags in the background? Obviously in front is the U.S. and U.K. Back right looks kind of like the Swiss cross (which makes very little sense to me). It is certainly interesting! Edited by Brian Mc 12/06/2015 5:03 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Law New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 12/06/2015 10:12 pm I also think Woodrow Wilson... My great grandfather was in the war, but I don't know much more than that. It came from an old box of stuff after my father died. Sadly I can't ask him. It sure does look like the back is the same as the 1918 Army coin without the lettering. Report this Post to the Staff
Law New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 12/06/2015 10:34 pm Looks like it might be a bit earlier... I didn't think about focusing on the back of the coin, but it is exactly the came as the "Battle Of Vera Cruz / April 21st, 1914". on this page: http://www.socalleddollar.com/afMilitary.html Still don't find anything about the front though.
