Medal – Mendel Beilis's Acquittal - 1913
Brass medal, minted in honor of Mendel Beilis's Acquittal. Eastern Europe, 1913.
Impressed on one side is a portrait of Beilis and the inscription "Mendel Beilis", on the other side "1913, the 10th of Marcheshvan 5674" and Beilis's name in Hebrew and Russian.
In April 1911, Menachem Mendel Beilis was accused of ritually murdering a Ukrainian Christian boy named Andrei Yushchinsky for his blood. Beilis was imprisoned on the basis of false evidence and his trial began in September 1913. Driven by the "murder" and the trial, the masses were incited against the Jews. After almost three years of imprisonment, Beilis was acquitted on November 10, 1913. In 1917, after the revolution, an investigation committee for this affair was established. It concluded that the government knew the real circumstances of the boy's death and staged the trial for anti-Semitic reasons.
Diameter: 2.2 cm. Hook for hanging. Please see photos for self-grading.
