The "Peace of 1919 Medal" holds a rich historical significance, symbolising a pivotal moment in Australia’s national identity and heritage. Initially issued by the Australian Defence Department in 1919 to school children, this medal commemorated the end of World War I and the signing of the Treaty of Versailles. It served as a tribute to the sacrifices made by Australian and Allied forces during the war, encapsulating the collective relief and hope for a brighter future after the devastating conflict. The original medalet, designed by renowned sculptor Charles Douglas Richardson, has been faithfully replicated in this commemorative edition. This replica offers Australians today a piece of history that reflects the pride and honour associated with Australia’s role in shaping the post-war world and the formation of the League of Nations, emphasising our country’s growing influence on the global stage.
This 65mm golden commemorative medallion showcases intricate details that echo the design of the original "Peace of 1919" medalet. The front of the medallion features Pax, the Goddess of Peace, standing tall with a sheaf of cereals in hand, symbolising life and prosperity, while doves of peace soar above her. At her feet lie two liberated figures, representing freedom from oppression. The reverse side proudly displays the Royal Crown above the word "VICTORY," illuminated by the sun's rays, signifying the dawn of a new era. Encircling the design is a wreath of olive leaves, the universal symbol of peace, framing the words "THE TRIUMPH OF LIBERTY AND JUSTICE." This medallion is a powerful reminder of Australia’s contribution to global peace and the enduring legacy of those who fought for liberty. Order now!
