WOW! I like it too. That's a great commemorative medal. Do you have one?
Neat, especially the columns and the hint at the vault. What I don't like that much is the two hyphenations. Do you know whether it was issued on some specific occasion?

I'll try and post a pic of the medal from a different angle so you can see how the vault is. Looking at the image I posted, one might get the impression that the medal is not perfectly round which it is.
Not sure if there was any specific occasion for its issue. I do know, however, that the proceeds of the sale of these went towards the hospitals and such that they support/run.

but with a great relief!
