    From Wikipedia: Venereology is a branch of medicine dealing with the study and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases.

    Oh, my, I have something new to put on my business cards imageimageimage. And really, pregnancy is just a sexually transmitted parasite...

    Seriously, if you EVER decide to sell that I would be a buyer! I just got a medal cabinet for work and that would fit right in!

    Interesting medal, certainly off the beaten track and just goes to show that if you look long enough there's a medal for just about any topic.

    One is tempted to ask what might have prompted this interest/knowledge, but I'll take the high road and resist the urge....

    Herbemont had an interest in medical themes. This medal, honoring a venereologist is simply one of them. I have some others with the medicine theme.
    I think some of them are restrikes from the 1970s.

    It did indeed! image

    Nice looking medal. Brass?

    I propose you take a wooden toothpick and a little mineral oil or Vaseline, and gently work at some of the "crud" in the letters. I think its appearance could be thereby improved, with little risk and no drastic action. (Which is not to suggest it's unappealing as-is, of course.)

    Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.
