WW1  SIAM VICTORY MEDAL

1914 - 1918  

AN EXCELLENT FULL SIZE COPY MEDAL WITH RIBBON

An excellent gap filler

After WWI, it was resolved that each of the Allied and Associated nations should issue a 'VICTORY MEDAL' to their own nationals to prevent a mass exchange of commemorative awards between the nations.

It was further resolved that all the issues would have as a common feature the figure of Victory upon the obverse. The reverse as required by each nation.

The issue of the Victory Medal was optional and in the event the following 14 countries (from a possible 17) issued medals:

Great Britain, Belgium, Brazil, Cuba, Czechoslovakia (Serbia), France, Greece, Italy, Japan, Portugal, Romania, Thailand (Siam), Union of South Africa, and United States of America.

Poland issued an 'unofficial' version.

China and Montenegro did not issue a medal.
