    medal identification help- German, Austrian, or Hungarian ??

    Hello forum

    I found this medal with some WWI/WWII items.

    I don't know what it is, or if it's even military related?

    The ribbon is in the style of Hungarian or Austrian?

    but... it might even be a scholastic medal for achievement in school? Since there is an owl? But, breasts showing on the woman, and this maybe not scholastic??

    thanks for the help Robert

      That is probably the goddess Minerva - which usually does have something to do with learning.

      The ribbon colours could also indicate Spain.

      I find naked breasts on an Austrian medal rather unlikely.

        I think it is the goodess Victoria (goodess of victory) with wings and laurel wreath.

        She is related with war.

          Medal

          Possibly from a sports event for fourth place? I have a couple on odd medals found in vets' groupings which were sports related.

            I would still lean toward Minerva. There is clearly an owl next to the figure and Minerva is frequently paired with an owl.

            I agree with the "4th place" due to the reverse.

            The artistry suggests to me of an Italian manufacture.
