Product description

Lot: a vintage commemorative medal hanging from a dark green ribbon, notable for its rectangular suspension bar clearly stamped 1974 and a bright blue enamel ring around the round medallion. The gold-tone medal pendant features a raised central design and surrounding blue enamel with visible lettering (SANRA visible in photos). The ribbon carries a small blue enamel star device and the pin/bar assembly is present and secures to clothing.

This is a ready-to-display piece for collectors of mid-20th century memorabilia, costume jewellery or historical ephemera. It suits a collector cabinet, mounted display, period uniform re-creation or framing alongside other medals and badges. Smart condition makes it an attractive affordable addition for hobbyists, vintage sellers or props departments.
