Italian Medal for the Persian Gulf War 
1990-1991 


This is the Italian medal for participation in the Persian Gulf War of 1990-1991. The medal is shaped in a cross and is encircled by a wreath to give it an overall circular appearance. There is a central medalion which displays a single star on the overse, and the words,"GOLFO PERSICO" (Persian Gulf) on the reverse. The medal measures 41mm in diameter and the ribbon is 38mm in width. The ribbon is yellow with three 4mm stripes (red, white, and green.)

This example is in mint condition as issued. It was manufactured by Spink & Son Ltd of London.
I have also included a scan of the box top which displays the manufacturer's information.
