Luego bajo el águila, se lee: " E Pluribus Unum (de muchos, uno)". Todo en referencia a al unión de la ciudadanía local a la estadounidense.

    El REVERSO p

A la izquierda de los marinos se muestran 2 medallas, una americana y otra francesa, dadas a los veteranos, mientras al lado opuesto se lee: " 236,000 Volunteered, 20,000 Drafted, 18,000 Served ". Alrededor de este conjunto se lee una banda de Boricuas famosos en nuestra historia, que sirvieron en esta guerra: " Dolores Piñero, Eustaquio Correa, Félix Rigau, Frederick Riefkohl, Joseph Avilés, Luis Esteves, Nero Chen, Pedro Albizu Campos, Pedro DelValle, Rafael Hernández, Rudolph Riefkohl, Virgil Miller, & otros más..."

    ENGLISH:
    Howdy!
    Big sized medal honoring the Centennial of granting American Citizenship to Puerto Ricans in 1917, as a result of the Jone's - Shafroth Act of March 2, 1917 signed by President Woodrow Wilson, in order to recruit Puerto Ricans to serve in the U.S. Armed Forces during WWI. A total of 18,000 Puerto Ricans served in World War I, in France and around the Caribbean, not counting thousand's more that were recruited stateside, mostly in Eastern States some of which served with the LEGENDARY New York's Harlem Hell Fighters, mostly comprised of African Americans, with the rest being Puerto Rican, who were taken in such high regard that the Military would subsequently fly down to recruit more Islanders in future wars to come, up to this day.
    CHARACTERISTICS:
    The objective was to create a piece with an old fashioned style common to the WWI era, mixed with martial military theme as main subject, thus an opaque, Gun Metal finish was chosen as material.
    The OBVERSE borrows from the VA logo, this time with the Bald Eagle carrying a Puerto Rican as well as an American Flag (an irony of life, back in WWI era, our flag had been declared illegal to display publicly, deemed as a crime of rebellion, not by Americans, but by pro-statehood Puerto Ricans in the island's legislative. Puerto Rico would not be able to publicly display its own flag until it was "adopted" as the Commonwealth's flag in 1952) The medal is in both English and Spanish, so this side talks about the Centenary of the Grant of American Citizenship. The latin phrase "E Pluribus Unum", meaning "Out of Many, One" refers to the legal union of Puerto Rican's to that of Americans Stateside, citizenship wise.
    The REVERSE
    d
    isplays a Color Guard by service members of the Navy, holding both PR & US flags, with an American Navy Cross and a French "Croix de Guerre" (War Cross), given after the war, official numbers of islanders who Volunteered, were drafted, and actually served, the Seal of the Government of Porto Rico (Puerto Rico), from this era, and a list of some high profile islanders that then moved on to become famous in their own right, whether in the U.S. Military, the Commonwealth's politics, and music and arts, and sports, amongst other fields.
    DATA SPECIFICS:
    This big medal measures 50mm x 3mm, has a weight of 44.5 grams, and has reeded edge, like a quarter dollar. It is made of bronze with antique nickel ( Gun Metal finish), is in Uncirculated condition, and comes in its protective plastic capsule, to save it from scratches. There is a total mintage of a mere 100 pieces, each serially numbered.

    PACKAGING
    Enviamos dentro de mica, cartón, cápsula, o protector acrílico, envuelto entre cartón grueso o burbuja, dentro de sobre o caja sellado con cinta adhesiva a los 4 lados. Haremos todo lo posible por resolver su problema y ganar su satisfacción. Algunas medalla o moneda quizá sea enviada en cápsula de acrílico como cortesía nuestra. Debido a que usted pagó por la medalla o moneda, y no por la cápsula, nosotros no somos responsables de reemplazar cápsulas recibidas rotas. Debido a que las medallas vienen con alguna que otra imperfección de fábrica, es normal que una medalla contenga algún rayacito o cantacito mínimo de lo cual no somos responsables. Las antiguedades que vendemos tienen imperfecciones por vejez, uso y desgaste, que pudieran no reflejarse en las fotos. Por eso sólo reemplazaremos o devolveremos dinero en caso de mercancía recibida gravemente dañada. Clientes que abusen con reclamaciones exageradas e infundadas serán bloqueados en el futuro.

We’ll do everything we can to help you and get your 5 stars. Some medals or coins may be shipped inside plastic capsules as a courtesy of ours. Because you paid for a medal or coin, and not for an acrylic capsule, we are not to be held responsible over capsules received cracked or broken. Medals received from the factory will feature minor scratches or nicks over which we shouldn't be held responsible. Likewise, vintage items we sell may feature imperfections due to age, tear, and wear, which may not reflect on the photos.
