Offered here is a lovely example of an Italian fascist mother’s medal. During the “Battle of the Births”, Mussolini intended to increase the birthrate of Italy with various incentives. These medals were awarded to mothers who gave birth to a substantial number of children. This medal has 7 bows attached to it, indicating the mother awarded this medal was birthed 7 children. What makes this medal special is that it is accompanied by its original paper packet that it was originally issued in. The packet is also stamped “7” to indicate it was a medal with 7 bows attached. These packets are not easy to find, and makes for a very lovely and interesting set!
