French Laos Franco-Laotian Resistance Medal 1949 Struggle Against Jap Occupiers

Description

France / Laos
Fraco-Laotian Resit
Full Size with Ribbon
This medal, established on Apr. 25, 1949, was for Lao and French who participated in the struggle against the Japanese occupiers during World War II (and perhaps some who fought subsequently against the Lao Issara). It might be better described as an award of France rather than Laos.
The round bronze 31mm badge pictures the three headed elephant and seven tiered parasol above, with curlicues and the Cross of Lorraine on either side, and, around the edge, at the top in small letters the inscription RESISTANCE FRANCO LAOTIENNE 10 MARS 1945 - 25 AOUT 1945, and at the bottom the comparable Lao inscription. The reverse has a curled dragon with a border of curlicues and in the center a blank straight area for the engraving of the recipient’s name.
This medal was manufactured by the Paris Mint (La Monnaie de Paris).
This medal was limited to 400 numbered pieces.
