Belgium Unknown Belgian commemorative medal 1918 - 1968

[TacHel]

Besides the obvious, can anybody give me some info on this medal? Obvisouly unofficial, a society medal? Mere souvenir?

It is a 50th Anniversary of the Armistice, 1968 (wapenstilstand literaly means laying down of arms). looks unoffical to me, possibly an issue by a veteran's organisation, obverse bears the portraits of Albert I and Baudouin.

Hope this helps,

Hello Frank,

I have read this unofficial medal was given by the Belgian town Nieuwpoort as a commemoration medal. Nice medal but the ribbon is poorly made, isn't it?

kind regards,

Jef
