Original and full sized French issue 'Upper Silesia' (Haute Silesie) Medal. Unnamed as issued. Obverse: In the centre an eagle upon a shield in front of oak leaf branches and 'HAUTE SILESIE' on a banner at the top. Reverse: The dates '1920 - 1922' in the centre on one line surrounded by 'COMMISSION INTERALLEE DE GOUVERNEMENT ET DE PLEBICITE', (Inter-Allied Government and Plebiscite Commission), around the circumference. The medal is fitted with a small oak leaf suspender and the correct light blue ribbon with a broad central yellow stripe.
History: This unofficial medal was struck to honour the soldiers who had kept order during the time of the Inter-Allied Government and Plebiscite Commission ordered by the League of Nations in 1921 to decide whether Upper-Silesia should come under the control of Germany or Poland and is rarely seen for sale.
