1969 General John J. "Blackjack" Pershing 50th Anniversary Return of A.E.F. Medal

Hey all...

Just imaged this gorgeous medal - wondering if anyone has seen it before and has some more info. I have found a silver proof and bronze proof example for sale ($25 and $15 respectively) and one with this finish on Worthpoint (don't have an account so don't know how much it sold for, I kinda feel like it's a scam site):



Date: 1969 (50th Anniversary of Sept 10, 1919)
Subject Matter: Return of American Expeditionary Force (Politico article)
Packaging: Red case similar to the Worthpoint example with "International Numismatic Agency New York City" stamped on the inside cover
Composition: Unknown (the Worthpoint listing says it's silver, but there is no fineness marking and they could just be describing the color)
Mintage: Unknown
Value: Unknown

On the link (Silver proof) you provided it states the medal is 27.9 grams of .999 fine silver. It's a Franklin Mint issue.
Here's a nice article about the Franklin Mint: https://coinweek.com/education/the-rise-and-fall-of-the-franklin-mint/
I Googled Worthpoint and there's some interesting reading about them.
