France, Medal, Commandant Jacques Yves Cousteau, French Fifth Republic
NOTE: This
is the Same Commemorative Medal you see listed for $30-80 on eBay. I
was able to purchase a small box of these original medals in a local
estate auction of an elderly collector of art. I'm only selling the
ones in good condition with no major flaws. They might have small spots or imperfections
like this one but nothing bad. Not actual medal sold in picture but they all look pretty good. The
bad ones Im going to melt.
