Original WW2 silver plated bronze medal to commemorate the Battle of London.
Part of the proceeds by the sale of this medal were given to the RAF Benevolent Fund.
Size: 57 mm diameter.
Obverse: St. Paul's Cathedral is surrounded by smoke and flames in the background of the centre circle.
The remains of a bombed building is in the foreground. A German bomber is lit up by the ray of searchlights.
Inscribed 'BATTLE OF LONDON - SEPT 1940 MAY 1941'.
Reverse: The Tower of London is depicted in the background with the River Thames to the foreground.
A German V1 Doodlebug falls from the sky overhead.
Inscribed 'BATTLE OF LONDON - JUNE 1944 AUGUST'.
Medal comes in its original scarce case of issue.
In good condition for age (issued originally in 1944) with light wear/rubbing.
Original box of issue does have some creasing/crushing but generally very good for age.
Lovely wartime coin/medal for the collector & even moreso having its box of issue.
It is offered for a very low price & will be sent - as always - extremely well packaged to the winning bidder.
If in any doubt - CHECK OUT MY FEEDBACK!!!
Thanks for looking.
