Information on gold? medal

ajaan

A couple years ago I was given this medal by a very generous forum member. He believes it is gold but isn't sure. Has anyone ever seen one of these and can identify it? It appears to be part of a series for Political Leaders in the World. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I know that this is from a series of medals, but that is about it. I think there was a thread about on of these a while back.

Hey, I remember that, now. Gave it to you for your birthday, as I recall. That originall came from out of my grandmother's jewelry box, along with two Austrian gold coins. It sure did look and feel like gold to me.

Did a search on "Political Leaders of the World gold medal" and got the Kennedy listing from Stacks.

I'm not familiar with this series, so I don't know whether they're gold or not. Is it a Franklin Mint product? There's something that looks like their monogram below and to the right of the flags on the rev. I can tell you that gold medals are quite uncommon. Mostly, you see gilt bronze or silver. If it is gold, there should be purity marking somewhere -- often on the edge, but not always.

I tried exactly the same key phrase, and several other combinations thereof, and got nothing. Zip. Zilcho. Nada. What engine did you use? I used Google.
