The World War I Victory Medal (originally known as the Victory Medal) was a United States World War I service medal designed by James Earle Fraser. Award of a common allied service medal was recommended by an inter-allied committee in March 1919. Each allied nation would design a ‘Victory Medal’ for award to their military personnel, all issues having certain common features, including a winged figure of victory on the obverse and the same ribbon. The World War I Victory Medals were awarded after the end of World War I, so they were mailed to the servicemen instead of awarded in person. �� Est. $75-150 Various 1040 1040Assorted Commemorative Coins and Medal Group Token, medal and coin issues.
