World Medals

A unique collection of the aircraft used during the First World War 1914-1918. One side has the soldiers marching forward with fixed bayonets. The other side has a full colour rendition of an aircraft which fought during the conflict. You get five different aircraft in flight: F-904, N1977, 1264, 7851 and C1904. They will remind you of all those famous films that were made with these planes flying and fighting under most extreme circumstances. It is the first time we have offered them and we did a deal with the exporter to sell them for less than £4.00 each with the presentation case thrown in. A bargain and has a fantastic history.

Richard is proud to be a dual British and American national, but, there is one day each year when he feels confused. And that day is the 4th of July. For Americans, it is a day to celebrate their independence from the British. For the British, it is the day they lost the American Colony. When The Worth Collection offered us a set of five medallions to celebrate the 4th of July Richard did not know what to do. Then he saw the collection and his mind was made up. It is a fantastic set and well worth having. You get five crown sized medals with full-colour paintings of battles being waged. You have the British red coats, the Americans with their flags flowing and it was after all almost 250 years ago. They are in Proof condition with reverse reading United States of America Independence Day 4th July. Just to show that we are fair to both sides, instead of the usual price of £22.50 we are going to offer them at just £19.50. And that's because Richard cannot make up his mind. He wants both sides to win!

This fantastic set of five medallions has been issued by The Worth Collection for the 50th Anniversary of the Apollo Moon Landing. You get five different silvered medallions with full colour photos of Apollo 11. They are in Proof condition and have been silver plated. The set comes in a plush display case. The reverse medallion has an astronaut standing on the Moon holding an American flag with his spaceship in the foreground. If you are into space then this set is for you. First time offered.

This most unusual set of medallions says it all ‘Never Forget’, never forget what happened on 9-11 in the United States. When terrorists attacked the World Trade Centre in New York City but also the Pentagon in Washington D.C. The planchet, or piece of metal the medallion is struck on, is not round but rather in the shape of the Pentagon. That is what makes this collection so impressive. Each has a full-colour photograph on the obverse. They are gold plated with the reverses showing the World Trade Centre and ‘We will not tire, we will not falter and we will not fail’ G.W. Bush. They are a fantastic set, yes they cost just a little bit more than the normal sets but we assume this shape costs more to make. The small extra cost will immediately be worthwhile when you see this stunning 9-11 ‘Never Forget’ Collection. It comes in a Worth Collection presentation case.

Audrey Hepburn was a famous actress, 1929-1993, who was perhaps best known for her role in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. But I will always remember her for her role in My Fair Lady, she went from Covent Garden flower seller to a lady. We have been able to buy a small quantity of a wonderful collection of five full-colour medallions honouring Audrey Hepburn. Each crownsized medal has a different picture of Ms Hepburn from one of her films. They are in beautiful proof condition and the collection comes in a handsome presentation case. The reverse has her smoking a cigarette in a very long holder with a rose. The obverse has her and the line ‘I just do my thing’. The medals are gold plated and you get all five medals, each in a protective plastic case in the presentation case for just £19.50. She was a fine actress and this is a wonderful remembrance at a most reasonable price… Less than £5 each!

Issued to the brave men and women, who served in World War II from Belgium. It was issued at the end of World War II and is a rather handsome piece. You have the rampant lion of Belgium superimposed on a cross within a circle. The other side has a raised dagger or sword with the dates 1940 and 1945. It is a yellowy bronze metal and comes with a green, red, black, and yellow ribbon. We believe this is the first time that we have been able to offer this medallion, one that was given to the brave Belgium fighters who fought and won against great odds. We think you will like this simple but important medallion.

Instituted on 21 July 1905 to commemorate the 40th year of the reign of King Leopold II. This medal was to be awarded to those who had given 20 years’ “good and faithful service”. The initial issue had the dates 1865 - 1905 on the reverse. In 1951 (allegedly due to pressure from veterans’ groups) the award was further extended to Military personnel who had a minimum of one years’ good and faithful service between 16th December 1865 and 18th December 1909. The medal is struck in gilt bronze and is 30 mm in diameter, it has a ball and ring type suspension mounted on a bow design. The obverse has the bust of Leopold II set over a Rupert Cross surrounded by laurels and oak leaves. The reverse is similar, but with the bust of Leopold replaced by the dates 1865 - 1905 (first type). The ribbon is red, yellow and black. Never offered before and available in very limited numbers.

Bruce Lee was a Hong Kong and American martial artist, actor, and filmmaker. We in the West first heard about him after he played Kato in the TV series Green Hornet, but it was his role in Enter the Dragon that catapulted him to global stardom. Unfortunately, Lee would pass away just six days before the release of Enter the Dragon on July 20, 1973. A visionary and a pioneer in the martial arts world, Bruce Lee combined elements of Eastern (Judo, Karate) and Western martial arts (Boxing, wrestling) with the Wing Chun Kung Fu he learned in Hong Kong to create his own style of martial art: Jet Kune Do. This is why many credit him with paving the way for mixed martial arts. This set hounours the great action star of the 60s and 70s and comprises 5 gold-plated medallions each with a full-coloured picture of Bruce Lee as seen in martial arts demonstrations and in his films. If you are a martial arts fan or a fan of his action films, you will have to grab this set my friend!

These are very attractive pieces produced with a gilded finish with black, red and turquoise enamel. At the centre is a diagram showing the atom being split into Alpha, Beta and Gamma radiation.

We were only allowed to get a very limitied number of these five piece Albert Einstein collections. Because that was all they had left. Each crownsized medal shows a different portrait of the scientist Einstein on one side, the other side has his engraved portrait and his most famous quote ‘E=MC2’. This set of five Proof medallions comes in a handsome presentation case. Great for yourself or someone into science. Unfortunately now we now have just 16 collections available but good news they are still at our normal price of just £19.50. Remember that is less than £4.00 a crownsized medallion, great value but a small supply available. You couldn’t have them made at this price and we saw just one of the medallions online for £8. Please do remember, just 16 sets available.

Richard saw the famous Marilyn Monroe Playboy calendar when he was young and it made a lasting impression on him. This collection does not contain that photo but it does contain five different full-colour medals of Ms. Monroe.

This is a fantastic collection to honour an iconic actress. You get five different full-colour medals in a presentation case for just £19.50. Just because Richard lost his heart to her as a youth, it doesn’t mean you will have to lose a fortune honouring her. Great for movie buffs, and an excellent present.
