Description
Commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Legion of Archangel Michael with this special medal, issued to mark the Legionary Congress held in Madrid in 1967. This was the legion of Archangel Michael or the so-called "Iron Guard" - a highly rights extremist antisemitic organization in Romania after WW1. The obverse of this medal features the inscription 'LEGIUNEA ARHANGHELUL MIHAIL CONGRES LEGIONAR MADRID 1967 1927 - 1967', recognizing the legacy of this Romanian nationalist and anti-communist organization. On the reverse, the medal is inscribed with the name 'CORNELIU ZELEA CODREANU', the founder and charismatic leader of the movement. This medal provides a glimpse into the history of Romanian political and cultural movements and serves as a tribute to the impact of the Legion of Archangel Michael and its supporters. Its historical significance and numismatic value make it an excellent addition to any collection of exonumia or Romanian memorabilia.
