<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GeorgeM, post: 1545368, member: 28550&quot;]I picked up a medal today at Dallas Gold &amp; Silver &amp; am looking for help identifying it. It isn&#039;t in Krause, the gentleman I spoke with wasn&#039;t sure what the story behind the medal was, and I haven&#039;t been able to find anything in my books or online. But, it struck me as a beautiful medal and worth taking a chance on.</p><p><br /></p><p>27g</p><p>0.95 oz</p><p>~40mm in diameter</p><p><br /></p><p>Any idea what this is? </p><p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/georgemo/8054900173/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/georgemo/8054900173/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/georgemo/8054900173/</a></p><p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/georgemo/8054900881/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/georgemo/8054900881/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/georgemo/8054900881/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Someone tried to sell one on eBay a few weeks ago (and they have much better pictures than I was able to take on my cell phone).
