Definizione

• Free-Standing.  A medallic item which has a base broad enough to support the item standing on edge. Both medals and medallic objects have been issued with such an integral function. Robert Weinman's 1987 Society of Medalists issue number 115, his Cat and Mouse, will stand upright, as an example of such a medal.  A medallic object, one of many, is Roy Lichtenstein's 1969 Salute to Airmail.
