    I love the Greek one, but I have trouble with the translation. Homologous nature? In other words, motherly love transcends humanity?

    I'll have to dig up the seller's comments, (eBay negotiated a MUCH lower price). Otherwise we can ask @SYRACUSIAN :smiley:

    @harasha I found the seller listing. He had listed it at about 10X what I wanted to pay for it...and took a best offer which was still way too high (but I'd gotten a little unexpected extra at work, so....), but this medal is pretty much IT for me. Art deco, mythological equine beastie, and mom/baby.

    Thanks for sharing. I came across this one in my collection last night. Not really a medal because of the denomination, but on the other hand I doubt they circulated much.
