1918 France Ministere du Travaux Medal! [решено]

Hello All,

I know this isn't a coin but wanted to know if anyone knew anything about this medal? I know its a medal issued by the Ministere Du Travaux to French citizens (in this case Jean Pierre Roux) who have helped the government with the railway "Chemins de Fer", but don't know much other than that.


I'm pretty sure I can't add it to Numista even if I wanted to b/c its not a piece of currency... but might as well check?

If anyone knows anything about its worth or value, or anything about it I would love to know more!

Much Thanks and Happy New Year,
ShadowyEnigma

Lovely medal you have there.

My understanding is that those medals, like most French civilian government awards, had a ribbon, like this one of the same type issued here:

Selling value seems to be around 15 euro:

Hello CassTaylor,

Yes, sadly mine has been removed for some reason. When I purchased it, it was marked "mount removed..." I'm not sure why it would be removed but... it has been.

The websites you provided are super helpful!

Thank you for the quick reply, your replies and advise are always amazing!

Bonne année!

I have one also, engraved 1934 and it has the other parts on the ribbon ...
