<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 17577, member: 39&quot;]What I found odd about this medal is the inscription below the woman&#039;s head. Once you decipher it ;-) the solution, so to say, is easier: The person depicted is Olave Baden-Powell, wife of Robert B.P. (yep, the scouts guy) ...</p><p><br /></p><p>And according to this web site <a href="http://home.planet.nl/~koop0296/GeschiedenisScoutingNed/Geschiedenis.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://home.planet.nl/~koop0296/GeschiedenisScoutingNed/Geschiedenis.html" rel="nofollow">http://home.planet.nl/~koop0296/GeschiedenisScoutingNed/Geschiedenis.html</a> Lady Baden-Powell was awarded the &quot;Woman of The Year&quot; title, and the Ceres Medal, by the UN&#039;s FAO program in 1973. &quot;Lady Baden-Powell werd door de Verenigde Naties (FAO) uitgeroepen tot de vrouw van het jaar. Zij ontving daarvoor de Ceresmedaille.&quot;) While this piece is not _the_ Ceres Medal, I suppose, it commemorates that event.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
