Still have had no luck finding any other info on this piece other than what is on the 2X2. Again, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

@econrad, thanks for bumping this thread. It looks to me like this medal of Ze'ev Jabotinsky was designed by Shmuel Kretschmet. It is bronze and has a mass of 55 g and a diameter of 45 mm. I will say that your piece appears to be more crudely cast than the original. Unfortunately, I don't know how many were made. There seems to be a couple other types of medals featuring Ze'ev Jabotinsky.

Here is a link to a website with a little more detail (you can use Google translate to go from Hebrew to English):

This is an interesting piece. Thanks for posting it!

Thanks for the info Spence but the medal I have is 30mm and weighs 14.96g. Maybe it was an earlier medal?
