    Cambodian Medal

    Here's a Cambodian medal I've had for a while (actually the only Cambodian medal I have).

    The reverse states "Norodom Suramarit Roi du Cambodge" or "Norodom Suramarit, King of Cambodia". Ed Emering's site, the best resource on the web for decorations of France's former colonies, has an image of one, but all it says is "Medal of Norodom Suramarit" which doesn't exactly tell me much. Any idea what it was for?

    Busy researching Cambodian medals at the moment - this is the 3rd class (bronze) medal. It was instituted on 12 April 1955 and awarded for personal services to King Norodom Suramarit, who was crowned 3 March 1955 and died on 3 April 1960.

    I am, needless to say, on the lookout for images to enhance this section of my site :)
