Description: | The medal is circular, and bronze in colour. The obverse is marked with the coat of arms of Mulhouse surmounted by a five-turret castle or wall, and "Ville de Mulhouse" around the edge. The reverse has the words "Jumelage Walsall - Mulhouse 1962" inscribed in the centre but is otherwise plain. It is stored within a burgundy presentation case. Twinning (or "Jumelage") started after the Second World War as a movement to bring together municipalities, giving an opportunity to find out more about the daily lives of those in other places, talk to them and exchange experiences, and develop joint projects. Mulhouse is a city and commune in eastern France, close to the Swiss and German borders. Mayor Truman from Walsall and Mayor Muller from Mulhouse signed the twinning charter on 6th October 1962.
