The other face shows a spray of olive and flowering branches tied at the stem, with the date 1801 in the field and \u003cem\u003eTHE DESIRE OF THE PEOPLE\u003c\/em\u003e running the rim.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wording and the date belong with the English peace tokens struck around the preliminaries of peace in 1801, when towns worn down by years of war marked the news with something they could keep. The dove with the olive branch is older still: the bird sent out from the ark that came back with a green leaf, the first word that the flood had gone down, and behind it the song over Bethlehem promising peace to men of good will. Both are here, on a piece made for people who wanted it badly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Peace and Good Will medal was faithfully reproduced from an antique original and cast in the USA using a traditional fine-detail casting process that preserves the medal's vintage character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArtisan-cast from an antique original\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinished by hand, so every piece is subtly unique.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuy the medal alone, or add an optional chain or cord necklace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdd a cord or chain to have it arrive assembled and ready to wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArrives in a deluxe velour jewelry box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Equatoria","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48943556362425,"sku":"3c3-1422-B","price":11.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-1422-B.png?v=1787688755","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-peace-and-good-will-medal-1801","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
