Folded from a single sheet of copper, measures 2 ¼" x 1 ½" x ¾". Shows, beautiful ornaments hammered on all outer surfaces. The front side is engraved "AEF Siberia 1919" and is decorated with a Russian Imperial 10-kopek coin soldered or glued to the surface.

In excellent, outstanding condition. The metal retains most of its original luster, showing just minor areas of tarnish, and is keeping its original form without any dents or bumps.

The American Expeditionary Force, Siberia was a formation of the US Army sent by President Woodrow Wilson, and was a part of the larger Allied North Russia Intervention campaign. The AEFS pursued multi-pronged military, diplomatic, and economical goals, ranging from assisting the 40,000 men of the Czecho-Slovak Legion to escape via Vladivostok and, hopefully, return to the Western Front of WW1 to protecting large quantities of military supplies and railroad rolling stock that the USA had sent to the Russian Far East in support of the Russian Empire's war effort there during WW1. The political goal was to support and bolster a Russian self-government opposing the Reds. At that time, the Far East had only small pockets controlled by the Soviets, and this goal of Wilson's was within the realm of the possible.
