<p>[QUOTE="robinjojo, post: 5319029, member: 110226"]I see what you're saying regarding the font. I don't know who did the engraving, or when. I assume before the medal was presented - it would be odd to do it afterwards. The font for the engraved area is a sans serif, similar to the style used for the medal's legends, which seems to be a stylized font, and it seems quite nicely done. It's possible that achieving an exact match would be difficult to do. I don't know - I not an expert on these things.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes this is a later design of the Savings Bond medal, but it seems that they do show up with some regularity, which one would expect given the large numbers produced over the years.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
