oamotme Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Ray, Yes this is the 1st type with a rhino and the word "Al Wajib" (The Duty) on the obverse and "Jumhuriyah Al Sudan" (Republic of Sudan) on the reverse. After the military coup in 1969 (??) the reverse changed to "Democratic Republic of Sudan" and the rhino was replaced by a bird (hawk/stork (?).

ray11 Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 (edited) Hello Lilo sorry about the photo's as soon as i get a new cable i will be able to post better ones . I lost the cable that goes from camera to computer and have to put them on my wife's computer burn them to a disk and then put them on my computer ( she does not allow me to screw up her computer ). You say in 1969 is it really that new? Also it looks like there had been a name on it but it was ground off,were they named? thanks,Ray an add on can you tell me what the ribbon should be on this medal? thanks again Edited June 22, 2014 by ray11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oamotme Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Ray, From the regulations it is noted that the medal comes in 3 classes and is awarded to Sudanese and foreigners who "perform distinguished service in furtherance of security and public order".
