Notes |
Medal commemorating the 10th Anniversary of the Armistice, WW1 Three versions of this medal were struck by the Royal Mint. A large medal, measuring 3 inches in diameter, was available in silver at a cost of 30 shillings, or in bronze for 10 shillings. A smaller bronze medal measuring 1 1-4 inches diameter could be had for 1 shilling and 9 pence. The design by Charles L Doman was selected following a competition between several medallists. The imagery of Britannia with sheathed sword supporting a warrior with the broken shackles of war symbolised deliverance and were taken from a statement by Lord Oxford, 'We shall not sheath the sword until justice has been done.' The first advertisement for this medal appeared in Britain on 1 November 1928 and in New Zealand and Australian papers during the next few days. They could be obtained from the Chief Clerk of the Royal Mint.
