This very interesting Medal with a sailing ship design and embossed 'Gloria' with inscription on the reverse comes in its original presentation box.  It is in pristine condition and is 7 cm in diameter (2.75 inches) with a ribbon in French National Colours.  It was presented to the seller in 2001 in La Rochelle, France, a stop over docking for yachts taking part in a round the world race, sponsored by a number of prominent companies.
