MIXED LOTS. Western Europe. Septet of Bronze Medals (7 Pieces), 1914-45. Grade Range: EXTREMELY FINE to UNCIRCULATED.
This engaging mix presents medallic art from France (4) and Belgium (3), with nearly all emanating from the period of World War I. Topics (from the French medals) include the liberation of Metz, martyred villages, National Rescue Day, and the allied victory, while those from Belgium cover the General Aid Committee, the town of Watermael-Boitsfort, and--within the scope of World War II--the concept of Vrijheid, or the victory over Nazi Germany. A great beginner lot for the collector looking to start a collection in this area.
Estimate: $100 - $200
