Allied
This coin necklace is gorgeous!! Allied is a pewter reproduction of a 35mm Belgian medal on an 18” gold stainless steel textured chain featuring a section of faceted copper glass beads. The image is more worn looking on this piece, but it’s the same medal as Winged Victory. The last photo shows the face and reverse of this double sided medallion and the history is below.
The Victory Medal is the Belgian variant of the WW1 Inter-Allied Victory Medal 1914–1918 featuring a winged victory standing on a globe, her arms and wings spread out, looking down at Earth. The reverse bares, superimposed over a laurel wreath, the coats of arms of the Allies, starting at center top and going clockwise, French Third Republic, United States, Empire of Japan, Kingdom of Greece, Brazil, Serbia, Portugal, Kingdom of Italy, United Kingdom, and at center, the Royal Coat of Arms of Belgium. Along the outer circumference, the bilingual inscription in French and Dutch "THE GREAT WAR FOR CIVILISATION"
