Northwest Territorial Mint produced these designs for two Firefighter coins bearing the image of Saint Florian, the patron saint of firefighters, on both coins. One of the coins also shows the emblem of the Internaltion Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) which is set against the background of the four-fold Florian's Cross, itself a variation of the more sharply defined Maltese Cross. This derivation is purported to have come from the Knights of Malta defending themselves against the Saracen's use of fire as an offensive weapon. The second coin shows three firefighters on the back of a moving hook and ladder truck with a large engravable space above those figures that can be used to personalize the coin as a gift. Both coins are 39mm in diameter and have a beautiful antiqued bronze finish. The IAFF logo design has been enhanced with red and white enamels. This lot comes from the liquidation of Northwest Territorial Mint. City: State: Date: HWAC# 80202
