My friend gave me this (polish origin) after I said I collect medals etc.

I've no idea what it is but he said it was given to him a couple years back.

Anyone have an idea?

Here it is

[Moved from]: Old Polish Medal / coin - It says Nograda on it

I have a coin or medal I found. About the of a US Silver dollar. It appears to be copper. It says Nograda on it and onone side it's a lady with her right hand on her hip and the left hand holding what appears to be a crescent ? Anyone help ?

It says: 31 Sierpnia 1980. Wolność zaczęła się w Gdańsku (The freedom started in Gdańsk). It looks to be a medal for a member of the Poland's Solidarity Movement, but I'm not sure what exactly it was for.

whoa thats cool. any interest in selling that? my (soon to be) fiancee's parents are from there and i would love to present that to them as a thank you *insert emotional sentiment here* since they participated in the solidarity movement.

No worries if its not your place to give away/if you want it. Just really rough what everyone in Poland (and anyone who worked at the shipyards in Gdansk went through) and would love to have a piece of it to give to them.

Thank you. Sorry mods that its off topic.
