Description
This medal was issued in bronze (59mm - mintage unknown) and sterling silver (59mm - mintage unknown). The edge of the medal is stamped, in Hebrew and English, with “ISRAEL”. Each medal is individually numbered on the edge (the bronze example shown above is numbered 0163). The medal was designed by Israeli artist Noam (Naim) Basson.
Noam Basson’s work covers a wide variety of disciplines, including painting, sculpture, relief, tapestries and jewelry. Basson has gained international acclaim and his works have been displayed in many museums and galleries throughout Israel and the world. A large majority of Basson’s pieces are of kinetics or op-kinetic styles, which break the traditional two or three dimensional static framework by creating optical illusions or by incorporating real movement. Basson designed and invented the first kinetic medallions of Israel, which have gained praise around the world. See items _____________ for other Peace medals designed by N. Basson.
