Context (Analysis)
Of the three ranks of Work Medal (bronze, silver and gold), the Andre Czegledy collection only has documentation for two of ranks for the recipient of the medal with the accession number 2003.140 A. However, as one of the medals is of gold rank, it can be assumed that the bronze was also awarded to the recipient. The bronze rank work medal, along with its accompanying documentation, is not represented in the collection.
