Falange Medal, but which one and for what ?

[Paul L Murphy]

I picked this up in a flea market in Madrid at the weekend. It has 1 Abril 1939, Victoria on the obverse and 18 Julio 936, Alzamienta on the reverse. Can anyone pin this down as to exactly what it is ?

Many thanks.

Hello Paul,

I believe that to be the "Uprising and Victory Commemorative Medal" - it's related to the Spanish Civil War (1936-39).

Cheers,
