Janusz Korczak Medallion - Czestochowa - 1979

One of my contacts informed me of another Janusz Korczak medallion, one that I have never before seen. It was minted in Czestochowa, in 1979, the centennary of his birth.

 

The Polish inscription reads, I was told, "The knowledge of life to children."

 

Dimensions are 103 mm x 68 mm (4“ x 2⅝”). The bronze medal weighs 520 g (about 18.5 oz.).

 

I wish this beauty were in my collection, but I cannot afford to be purchasing these things at this time. However, I can at least add it to my virtual collection.
