Title Liberation of North Yemen medal
Nationality Yemeni
Period 1963
Sold

This hallmarked silver medal was made in Egypt by Bichay of Cairo for the liberation of the Yemen Arab Republic (north Yemen). The Yemen Arab Republic was founded in 1962. About 500 of these medals were struck and it is, thus, quite a rare piece, emblematic of Nasser's involvement in liberation movements in the Arab world.

The suspension ring is damaged, but it is otherwise in reasonably good shape, certainly in near VF condiiton.

...acquiring this bayonet has completely changed my way of thinking on collecting bayonets. I have become extremely fond of the bayonet... Thanking you once again for the very professional way in which you handled the money [going to the wrong account] problem.
