FR002 Rare 1917 France - Germany. Battle of Verdun Bronze Plaque. PCGS SP64 By Georges-Henri Prud'homme. Dimensions: 63x47mm. Obverse: Nude male soldier standing facing, head left, holding sword and billowing standard; cannon and gnarled landscape in background; rising sun in background, with rays emanating from VERDUN; Reverse: Helmeted bust of Marianne left on medallion; laurel branch around and ornate tablet below. Tan-brown surfaces, with some darker hints highlighting the devices. Verdun was an important French victory and a battle that engulfed nearly the entire year of 1916, with nearly three-quarters of a million lives lost between both sides. The term le poilu below the soldier's right hand was a term of endearment for French infantrymen in the war, translating to "hairy one" on account of men rarely having the chance to shave while in the trenches.
