Round in shape, it features detailed relief on the front, with a stylized architectural representation, likely a building or a refuge, as well as a motif of tools or symbols related to nature. The inscription \"AMIS DE LA NATURE VICQUES\" is clearly engraved on the upper part of the medal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe medal is suspended from a two-tone red and white ribbed ribbon, typical of honorary distinctions. Two metal bars are attached to the ribbon: the first, in capital letters, bears the inscription \"DISTINCTION\", and the second clearly indicates the year \"1968\" on a small plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe surface of the medal has a matte finish, with some signs of wear and a slight patina, characteristic elements of a period object. The reliefs are still clearly visible, testifying to quality craftsmanship. No major defects are visible on the front.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ribbon is well preserved, with no apparent tears, and its colors remain vibrant. The upper attachment appears original and ensures a good presentation of the whole. The medal is placed on a square orange cushion, used here for photographic display (not included unless otherwise stated in the listing).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe mention \"bronze\" from the keywords indicates the main material of the medal. Its style and iconography are typical of Swiss or French associative distinctions from the second half of the 20th century, which is confirmed by the 1968 date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.
