Hi, There are some photos from the book about the King Zog (I have bought it in Albania). #1

There is the order "Glory" ("Sharaf")

I know about at least two more peaceful recipients: unique and only one Afghani astronaut Abdul Ahad Mohmand and his partner, Soviet kosmonaut Vladimir Lyakhov.

Hum, I have been ever (and I am still) sure that this so called "Golden star of the Hero of DRA" (once placed on Russian auction) is merely fake made from Afghani Order of the Star. But it seems to be a quite believable fake...

Anyway, as regards the common shape of all these versions, Soviet order of Red star is their obvious prototype

Of course, the obverse and reverse are different:) The reverse is plane with the embossed inscription. About the rewarding. Only two persons are decorated with this medal till now: the principal of the Almaty's secondary school and (of course!!!) the director of the agricultural co-operative. The Golden star #1 had to be offered to President Hazarbayev but he (of course!!!!!) has kindly renonced this honour:)

That is why I suspect it is the fake: there is no writing! These pixels are not the inscription.

No reverse. Unfortunately.

Found on Russian forum I've never seen this type before.
