A medal is a symbol of your or someone’s merit to the Fatherland, to any organization. Usually they are kept all their lives, shown to children, grandchildren, passed from generation to generation. They talk about them and are proud of them. Such things are generally considered family heirlooms. But it so happens that the owner of the coin has a desire to sell it. The reasons may be different. The medal could have come to you by accident and you don’t have the proper pride in owning it, or other circumstances could arise that make you do this.
