14K Israel Victory over Nazi Germany Gold Medal Pendant
Issued by the State of Israel in 1984 to commemorate the 40th anniversary of victory over Nazi Germany, this medal honors the bravery of Jewish soldiers and partisans during World War II. The design draws inspiration from the Yad Vashem monument, symbolizing both remembrance and valor. Approximately 1.5 million Jewish soldiers fought in Allied and partisan ranks during the war—a tribute immortalized in this commemorative medal. The medal has been professionally mounted in a 14K gold bezel pendant, creating a wearable testament to heritage and courage.
Condition:
This pendant is in very good vintage condition, showing light surface wear consistent with age. The relief details and inscriptions remain clear and sharp. Bezel, bail, and prongs are intact and secure with no visible damage or repairs. Minor hairline scratches visible under magnification, typical for vintage gold, but retains an excellent luster and presentation.
