Cast by Magnes Museum 1982 No. 80 of 120 produced. It measures 4.5" and has original presentation case.
" This art medal was created as a tribute to Wallenberg and was fittingly designed by artist Marika Somogyi, herself a Holocaust survivor from Hungary. On the front is an image of Wallenberg’s face in front of a brick wall, which alludes to the safe houses that he created for Hungarian Jews. The back of the medal shows Wallenberg protecting people underneath an outstretched cloak. Medal artist Marika Somogyi was born into a Jewish family in Budapest and grew up during World War II. She survived the war in hiding under a false identity, pretending to be Catholic. After the war, Somogyi studied at the Budapest College of Fine Arts and then continued her artistic training after immigrating to the United States. Her work has been shown in museums around the world, and in 1989 she was awarded the American Numismatic Association’s Numismatic Art Award for Excellence in Medallic Sculpture."
