Well, the part of the German I can read on the 1947 medal says "our daily
bread." I can't make the rest of it out with my bloodshot eyes.

Yes, pretty fierce shadows and difficult square letters.
An ear of wheat, obviously. Just post-war, so plenty of economic and social
problems in occupied Germany.
"Give us today (this day) our daily bread" around the top; Lüdenscheid
is a
German city, and the rest is something like "in the year of drought".
Was
there a drought/crop failure in 1947?

Thanks for the translation. I had most of it, but the "drought" was
something new.
See the details on my site page www.dewardt.net/uno-2.html
You'll are a big help, thanks

PS. I just got a new (old) one today. Will be putting it up too, when I do
a scan.
