Seller's description:

This listing is for an appreciation medal given out by the citizens of Hackensack N.J.

The front of the medallion is the Eagle over the U.S. shield, with flags draped on both sides. It simply says "World War 1917 1919".

The reverse side says "Presented to .. (blank ) by the citizens of Hackensack N.J. in grateful recognition of the services rendered in the World War"

The medal and ribbon combined measure about 3 inches. The medallion is 1 3/8" octagon shaped.

This is in very good condition. The ribbon is bright, and still very intact, albeit a little discolored.
