Condition: The medal is in excellent condition and if it was a coin, I would grade it as mint state uncirculated. The medal has no wear with minimum surface marks or scratches.

The medal is sandwiched between two pieces of felt like material and the literature pamphlet is intact but lightly soiled. A great medal to add to your collection.
