War History Medallion Set Appraisal

Historical Moments in War History Commemorative Medallion Set

This item is a framed commemorative set titled "Historical Moments in War History." It consists of five round, coin-like medals or medallions, each depicting a significant event from World War II. The items are encased in a clear plastic display case, likely acrylic or polystyrene, which serves to protect and present the collection. The background of the display features a brownish-tan graphic with silhouetted figures and what appears to be a faded American flag or patriotic motifs, enhancing the historical theme. Each circular insert is bordered by a white ring, which creates a striking contrast with the detailed, colored illustrations within. The five featured events are clearly labeled beneath each medallion: "D-Day," "Victory," "The Kiss," "Pearl Harbor," and "Iwo Jima." The 'Pearl Harbor' medallion appears to depict battleships and a fiery sky, while 'Iwo Jima' shows the iconic flag-raising. The 'Victory' medallion likely refers to V-E or V-J Day, possibly showing a celebratory scene. 'The Kiss' refers to the famous V-J Day in Times Square photograph. The overall condition appears to be very good, with no visible scratches or damage to the plastic case or the medallions themselves. The colors on the medallions are vibrant and distinct, suggesting good preservation. There are no obvious manufacturer's marks or dates visible on the case or medallions, but such sets are commonly produced by mints or private companies specializing in historical commemoratives, typically dating from the late 20th or early 21st century. The craftsmanship appears to be of standard commercial quality for such collectible sets.
