Medal - French National Emblems "First World War" Commemorative Display Stand (70 mm)
On the obverse (front), the medallion could prominently feature an allegorical representation of France, such as a dignified Marianne, perhaps with a Phrygian cap, holding a laurel wreath, or standing resolute with a sword. Surrounding her, subtle patriotic motifs like the Gallic rooster or interwoven oak and laurel branches would be incorporated. The inscription in French, running along the rim, might read: "LA FRANCE ÉTERNELLE – SOUVENIR ET HONNEUR" (Eternal France – Remembrance and Honor), emphasizing the nation's enduring spirit and the valor of its soldiers.
The reverse side of the medallion would likely depict a poignant scene or symbolic elements related to the First World War. This could include a stylized image of the Arc de Triomphe, a field of poppies, or a silhouette of a "poilu" (French WWI soldier) standing guard. The dates "1914-1918" would be clearly visible, along with an inscription paying tribute to the fallen, such as "À NOS HÉROS DE LA GRANDE GUERRE – JAMAIS OUBLIÉS" (To Our Heroes of the Great War – Never Forgotten), or highlighting key virtues like "LIBERTÉ, ÉGALITÉ, FRATERNITÉ."
