Baldwin’s Auctions is proud to bring to sale an extremely rare Congressional Medal of Honor, to be offered in a single-lot auction on Thursday 8 August at 399 Strand, London. The only such medal ever to have been granted to a Ukrainian American soldier, it was posthumously awarded to Nicholas Minue following a brave attack against the Germans in Tunisia, Africa, during which he lost his life on 28th April 1943. The project is being led by Mark Smith, a medals and militaria specialist for the Antiques Roadshow as well as at Baldwins.co and the auction house is working with charity United 24 to help fund Ukrainian humanitarian relief efforts. A significant portion of the proceeds - including 50% of the amount above the reserve price and 25% of the Buyer’s Premium - will be donated to United 24, a humanitarian initiative endorsed by the Ukrainian Embassy and spearheaded by President Zelensky.
