AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Detailed Visual Description

This commemorative medal features a classic circular shape and a bronzed patina finish, characteristic of antique or vintage items. On the obverse, a stylized central relief depicts three ears of wheat converging towards a drop, a symbolic motif associated with the fight against hunger. The main inscription, "FIAT PANIS," occupies the lower part of the medal, in slightly raised capital letters.

The top of the medal bears the inscription "COMBATER A FOME NO MUNDO" (fight hunger in the world), in an arc. To the left is the indication "25 ANOS" (25 years), and to the right the dates "1945" and "1970," which suggests a commemoration of the 25th anniversary of an event related to the fight against hunger. The graphic style and typography, as well as the patina, evoke a production from the 1970s, consistent with the commemorated date.

The surface has a matte bronze appearance, with shades of brown and gray, as well as slight signs of wear visible on the reliefs, testifying to its age and past handling. No reverse side is visible in the photo; only the obverse is described here.

The design and the Latin inscription "FIAT PANIS" (let there be bread) are in the tradition of honorary medals created for humanitarian campaigns, probably in connection with an international organization or a global initiative against hunger. The overall design highlights the symbolic and universal dimension of the message.

Condition
