New Forum Thread - Eye Appealing Medals !

So given the relative lull in activity on the Taler front, I have decided to venture into a new, budget sensitive, theme to satisfy the itch. I actually defined it as Eye Appealing Medals - no focus on history, era, or artist - simply, eye appeal - If my wife can look at the medal and agree it is appealing, it will be posted. I hope others can post along and keep this as a living thread.

So here is my first (seller's photo edited as I dont have it in hand yet).

Medal from Royal Swedish Life Guards, 1926.
Bronze, 81 grams, 55 mm diameter.
Desiged by Ivar Johnsson
Marked on the edge C. O. SPORRONG & CO. Very good condition.

Front side of the medal: Three armed soldiers marching.
Text on front side listing Swedish battles: 1521 GUSTAF VASAS LIFAKTARE KUNGL. SVEA LIFGARDE 1926 * POSSVNT NEC POSSE VIDENTVR
Back side a laurel wreath with text: 1521 Befrielsekriget (War of liberation), Rhen 1631, Lützen 1632, Warschau 1656, Tåget öfver Bält 1658, Lund 1676, Landskrona 1677, Narva 1700, Düna 1701, Kliszow 1702, Holov Czyn 1708, Svensksund 1790.
