This medallion was my grandfathers and in his coin collection which he would show me from time to time. However this is one that he did not show me and was in a seperate envelope. He was in the Navy in WWII and was overseas, that is as much as he would tell me about serving. I was given his coins after he passed and put them away where they have been for 18+ years until I recently began to go through them. That is when I saw this medal for the first time. The photos are of the item you will receive, please look at them to help you determine condition. Please message with any questions and thank you.
