    Description

    Rare original, Italian 18k solid gold medal.  Commemorates the defense against the Austro Hungarian offensive in the Southern Alps. The battle was called the “Thermopylae of Italy” due to the extreme resistance by the Italian Army to the offensive in May 1916 which intended to break through the front in Vallarta.  Reads, “ZUGNA PASSO BUOLE MAGGIO 1916 / NON ABBIAMO CEDUTO DI UN PASSO E NON CEDEREMO XXXVIII DIVISIONE VAL LAGARINA  1915 1916”.
    Signed by famed Italian artist, F. Casorati in small letters on the rim.  Stamped “75” for 18k solid gold. You are buying the material pictured.
