France: Medal of Honour for Physical Education, bronze, 1927-1939 issue.
Condition: Good Very Fine.
The medal was instituted in 1927 to reward those involved in physical education and was awarded for long service or for signal achievement, for instance in Olympic Games, national and international championships and the like. The medal was not attributed in the period 1939 to 1945 and was replaced in 1946. It thus had an effective life of just 12 years from 1927 to 1939.
