Product Details
WWI U.S. Military VICTORY MEDAL
- On 12 April 1919, announcement of the soon-to-be issued Victory Medal was made by Gen. Peyton C. March, Army Chief of Staff, who placed the medal’s design in the hands of the government’s Commission on Fine Arts.
- That group selected prominent sculptor James Earle Fraser for the project. Final endorsement of Fraser’s Victory Medal design was given by Secretary of War Newton D. Baker on 14 November 1919.
- As specified, the obverse shows a representation of Victory, in this case wearing a spiked crown, arguably similar to that seen on the Statue of Liberty. The reverse has an American shield and the names of 14 Allied and Associated nations. Atop the shield is a fasces – a medievel battle axe.
Labradorite is said to enhance clarity of thought and improve one’s ability to cooperate with others in harmony.
