Commentary
La face de la mini-médaille représente un bleuet colorisés (résine colorée). Ces deux fleurs sauvages ont continué à pousser dans la terre dans les terres retournées par les obus, elles étaient souvent la seule touche colorée pour les soldats des tranchées de la Première Guerre mondiale. Ces fleurs sont devenues depuis 1916 un véritable emblème de la mémoire et de la solidarité envers les anciens combattants, les victimes de guerre, les veuves et les orphelins. Le revers correspond au revers institutionnel Monnaie de Paris sans millésime. (c.f.numismag).
The obverse of the mini-medal depicts a colored cornflower (colored resin). These two wildflowers continued to grow in the earth turned over by shells; they were often the only touch of color for soldiers in the trenches of the First World War. Since 1916, these flowers have become a true emblem of memory and solidarity with veterans, war victims, widows, and orphans. The reverse corresponds to the institutional reverse of the Monnaie de Paris without a date. (cfnumismag)
