Need Some Help Finding FAO 1971 Sophia Loren Medal

I've been looking for a 1971 FAO Sophia Loren medal in bronze or gilded. If anyone knows a dealer or has seen it on a site, please let me know.

I have checked eBay but no luck. Also looked at a few websites with no result. Whatever help is appreciated.

Is that the artist's name along the rim? Have you tried searching for the artist on eBay. I realize that you might get hits on different medals, but sometimes you might get lucky.

I can't make out the name on the rim. I searched for just about every keyword under the sun for this medal. I have seen it only once on ebay. It's not an extremely rare medal but sometimes it's under Italy, FAO, Sophia Loren, etc. The search is on.

 

The medal was designed by Georges Simon and struck by the Paris Mint, if this will help.

What the devil is 'FAO'?

 

Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations

 

Thanks a lot Chris. I'll check it out.

 

Thank you John. Haven't the foggiest notion why I couldn't glean that from the 'net'. Best to you Bro.....

 

Who the devil is Sophia Loren?... Just kidding. I googled her and for some reason I saw more of her than I expected

 

You needed to googled SOPHIA LOREN Saddddddddddddddddddddddd

 

Ha! That Medal was made when I was born! 1971 - Just wanted to make sure. I think I heard my Grandma mention her one time!

 

Even more sadddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd

 

I remember seeing this photo ages ago. In case you don't know, Paddy, that's Jayne Mansfield standing and "green-with-envy" Sophia Loren seated.

 

It's the other way around poor Jayne
