Buyer's Premium:

This lot comprises a collection of commemorative and achievement medals and badges, housed within a heart-shaped metal tin. The tin lid features a printed design of cherubs, floral motifs, and pearls against a background of white and blue clouds. The medals include a circular yellow metal example featuring a skier with the legend ESCOLA D’ESQUI ARINSAL, and another with the numeral 1 surrounded by stars. A silver metal medal is struck with the numeral 2, and a bronze metal example is inscribed 3RD within a green and red laurel wreath. Also included is a medallion decorated with a musical treble clef on a staff and a small badge under a yellow plastic cover featuring the blue characters AD. Several medals are suspended from tricolour ribbons in blue, yellow, and red, or olive green fabric neck ribbons. No maker’s marks, signatures, or labels are visible on the tin or the medals.

The interior gold finish of the tin shows visible scuffing and oxidation (photo 2). Several medals exhibit surface tarnishing, light scratches to the metal finishes, and minor fraying to the edges of the attached ribbons (photo 2). One badge remains within its original plastic protective sleeve, which shows yellowing and creasing.
