Unknown Medal

Posting for a friend....

American Revolution or maybe a commemorative??

Interesting, odd, but I don't think it is anything "real"; some sort of commemorative/patriotic thing? Reverse blank??

What is the date at the bottom? I can't read it due to apparent corrosion there.

I'd look at Bi-centennial commerative stuff, the artistic style of the portrait appears to be from the 1970's or later for that matter.

Thanks guys.

This is from another site:

"Portrait is of Thaddeus Kosciusko who was a General in the Continental Army (American) during the American Revolution and then worked for Polish independence. This is probably a Polish or American patriotic society medal."

Interesting.

I agree with Coastie. Probably made in 1977, as the "celebrated" date in roman figures is "1777".

Cheers.
