stupot Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Hello SirsI know its not Cuba but I hope someone can help! I recently acquired this medal. I would be most grateful if anyone could supply detailed information on this piece. It also came with a gold pin which I beleive is related in some way. A period box was with the items.

paul wood Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 It's Chilean, It's the Valparaiso medal, instituted in 1882 for the war with Bolivia 1879-81, yours is the issue for the civilian naval artillery battalion, Officers received a gold medal, other ranks, your example received a silver medal. It is quite a scarce medal.Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
