The Commemorative Medal of the Italo-German Campaign in Africa (1940-1943) is a striking piece of history, honoring the military efforts of Italian and German forces during a pivotal period in World War II. Established in 1942 by Italian King Victor Emmanuel III, this medal was awarded to those who took part in the joint campaign in North Africa, aimed at controlling strategic regions, particularly Egypt and the Suez Canal.

Featuring a detailed design, the medal showcases:

  • Obverse: A depiction of the head of King Victor Emmanuel III with the inscription "Vittorio Emanuele III Re D'Italia".
  • Reverse: A map of Africa illustrating Italy and Germany, complemented by the years "1940-1943" and the label "Africa Settentrionale".

This medal not only recognized military personnel but also acknowledged civilians who contributed to the campaign. Today, it stands as a unique collector's item and a reminder of the significant events that unfolded in Africa during World War II.
