apparently someone brought it back from World War I That's a very cool and interesting medallion, dar76124! There was an historic battle at Cambrai in 1917 - the first time tanks were incorporated into integrated warfare. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battl...mbrai_(1917)Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

I would like to add that the figure of the sower depicted on the coin belongs to the greatest French medallier Oscar Roty (O. Roty sign).

Gilroy Roberts did this 1963 US Mint Presidential Medal portrait. Reverse includes LBJ's 11/22/63 date of office. It came with the original Philadelphia Mint shipping box; medal was in the original cello bag.    Slowly working towards having at least one medal from each Oval Office resident who served in my lifetime. . . " Even a clock that's stopped is right twice a day. "
