A friend eyeballed this silver medal [???] on the beach while I was detecting.. She smoked me that day. However, I have had no success in finding out
- Thread starter Micheal_R
- Start date
The long date is a mystery to me. The "Great War" lasted from 1914-1918 in my books. Maye it was given to soldiers who where posted there until 1919.
Nice find.

1859
PS: After looking at a lot of medals I get a sense that this is hand made. The typical medal of this period is made with high relief and is much more elaborate. This one looks more like it was engraved by a silver smith, carve out and probably enameled over the flag. Belgie and Belgique are just Belgium in 2 different languages that are spoken there.
