    Description

    Rare original, Italian 18k solid gold medal.  Commemorates the defense against the Austro Hungarian offensive in the Southern Alps.

    Signed by famed Italian artist, F. Casorati in small letters on the rim.  Stamped “75” for 18k solid gold. You are buying the material pictured.
