Until 2 hours ago, this medal had spent its entire life in a factory sealed cellophane envelope. Then tonight I noticed that blemishes had started to appear so I broke it out.
The first thing I saw was that the fields were covered with fine hairlines, although it had never been touched. Secondly, it was edge marked with the number 118.
Despite the colouration of the hurried photo it does seem to be gold plated. Does anyone recognise this medal and perhaps know the manufacturer or mintage?
Thanks for looking.
