Circular gilt bronze medal on laterally pierced ball suspension; the face with the head of King Vittorio Emanuele III facing left, circumscribed ‘VITTORIO EMANUELE III RE D’ITALIA’, maker’s mark ‘S . J . ’ for S. Johnson; the reverse with a circular wreath of oak and laurel; the gilding age-faded; on original ribbon in the national colours of Italy. We have been unable to identify this medal but it dates from the reign of King Vittorio Emanuele III and thus the period 1900 to 1946.
