<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cmezner, post: 3255373, member: 87809&quot;]Hi, all on the exonumia thread, first time I am posting here. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie80" alt=":shame:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Don&#039;t know much about exonumia, just happen to have this bronze commemorative medal on the occasion of the 85th birthday of the first Czech President Tomas Masaryk, who was an eager advocate of Czechoslovak independence during the First World War. He became the founder and first President of Czechoslovakia. He originally wished to reform the Austro-Hungarian monarchy into a democratic federal state, but during the First World War, he began to favor the abolition of the monarchy and, with the help of the Allied Powers, eventually succeeded.</p><p>50 mm, 46 g, 3mm thickness</p><p>Obverse: TOMÁŠ G.

It has some green deposits, don&#039;t know if I should clean it and how? If it would be a coin, I wouldn&#039;t clean it, but being a medal maybe I can? Pls, any opinions?</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]855158[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]855159[/ATTACH]</p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
