Iwar Sjögren bronze medal (90g, 56mm). This is another large medal using the wisdom symbolism of the ancient Athenian Owl motif to honor an individual, in this case Iwar Sjögren, who was a chief executive officer of Skandia, a multinational Swedish insurance company that was started in 1855 and currently has operations in Europe, Latin America, Asia, and Australia. Sjögren, as the medal indicates, lived from 1888 to 1953, and presumably this medal was issued in 1953 or shortly afterward. If you know with certainty, or if you know what 24-XI on the obverse signifies (perhaps November 24th, for what?), please let me know. The obverse depicts a portrait of Sjögren. The reverse, along with an owl from the the ancient Athenian Owl, depicts an oak sprig (instead of an olive sprig), a torch and hour glass, "Klokhet" or "Wisdom," "Kunskap" or "Know-how," "Kultur" or "Culture," "Skandia," two quatrefoils (heraldic representations of a flower with four petals), and C-G for Gösta Carell, the engraver.
