econrad Valued Member United States 131 Posts	Posted 07/10/2016 2:59 pm I've seen this design before, but not in bronze. Judging from the back of this medal, it looks like this medal has been shaved and then filled in with another type of metal? Has anyone come across this before or have any knowledge about this medal, specifically why the back looks this way? The medal measures 45mm. Thanks in advance. Report this Post to the Staff

MeadowviewCollector Pillar of the Community United States 4409 Posts	Posted 07/10/2016 5:56 pm I'm thinking it is a cliche which is a one sided impression http://www.historicalartmedals.com/..._by_edge.htm Here's an example http://www.historicalartmedals.com/...0%20HIGH.htm -MV Report this Post to the Staff
econrad Valued Member United States 131 Posts	Posted 07/11/2016 06:56 am MV I believe you correct it appears to be a cliche medal. Thanks for the help! I wonder if it has much value? Report this Post to the Staff

MeadowviewCollector Pillar of the Community United States 4409 Posts	Posted 07/11/2016 11:48 am I'd bet that it has value, how much is not something I know. -MV Report this Post to the Staff
econrad Valued Member United States 131 Posts	Posted 07/11/2016 4:55 pm After doing some research I couldn't find any other cliche medals like this online. I found something similar, but I don't know if this medal is nearly this valuable or rare. Check it out http://www.stacksarchive.com/viewlo...bec98abecdd4 Report this Post to the Staff
