Finland. 1939-1940 Winter War Commemorative Medal for Foreigners Literature: Borna Barac Finland 41, Bronze 34 mm, weight 20,70 g., Condition aUNC, ribbon
The medal was designed by Aarno Karimo, and the medal for foreigners differs from the so-called normal Winter War commemorative medal in that it is 3 mm larger in diameter and has a different reverse. On the reverse is the Latin text SUMMO IN PERICULO FAUTORIBUS ADIUTORIBUS FINLANDIA MEMOR (in English, Finland remembers (or is grateful to) its benefactors and helpers in times of greatest need). The ribbon of the medal is, of course, identical in all cases.
