This
is a sterling silver proof commemorative coin-medal privately struck for the
Société Commémorative de Femmes Celèbres (Society Commemorative of
Female Celebrities) by the Franklin Mint. Each medal commemorated a famous
woman from history, this one being Anna Eleanor Roosevelt.
The obverse of the medal is a portrait. The reverse is a depiction of
Eleanor signing the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights. The
medal measures 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
These are
quite rare, as many were melted in the early 1980s when the price of silver
soared. |
