United Nations Peace Medal

"United Nations Peace Medal" awarded by the United Nations. However, the United Nations does recognize and honor individuals and organizations for their efforts in promoting peace, humanitarianism, and other significant contributions to global well-being. First made by Franklin Mint in 1971, a new design is produced annually, with limited editions offered for sale in gold, silver, and bronze. Gold medals may be formally presented by UN officials as a diplomatic gift to heads of state, former UN Secretaries-General, and dignitaries visiting the UN Headquarters.
