Art Deco bronze medal France, 1946 Croix Rouge – Â Red Cross by Pierre Turin 68mm.
Obverse design taken from 1939 medal for 150 years commemorative of the French Revolution with the 1779 date removed.  The French Republic personified as breaks her shackles.
Instead the reverse shows that the design was repurposed and issued by the French Veterans and War Victims Minister ‘ Le Ministre des anciens combattants et victimes de guerre’. Â In a cartouche: Â Comite International de la Croix Rouge.
Condition overall extremely fine.
