Ulsterman Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Awarded by the Ministry of Education for advanced scholarly merit and/or Cuban cultural educational advancement. pretty much any Cuban academic over the age of 45 and who isn't a hack has been given this medal. Mostly awarded 1993 onwards I notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulsterman Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 awarded in 2000-from Cubas' official Gramna" newspaper:I estimate by the on-line decrees that well over 3000 of these have been awarded: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Very interesting. Obviously matte finished and Staybrite have nothing to do with AGE since the 1986 FAR Jubilee comes in both finishes...so here again we see what are two different manufacturer types. Hmmm hmmm. :beer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 What really confuses me is that these matte gold ones are NICE quality... and I can't place any similar ones in any of the other Communist Bloc countries' awards. Sure the the suspensions are pure DDR... but I never saw DDR medals with this lovely soft gold finish.So WHERE did the medals COME from? :catjava: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Well Rick,What do we know 100%? very little.1. Awards and badges were made in the GDR.*2. Some badges were made in the USSR.3. Badges after the break with USSR are made, or parts made in China. And assembled in Cuba.Scans and photos often mislead, but later Cuban Orders seem lower quality (China?)What I wouldn't nessesary rule out is that some are made in Cuba. The know-how is there, you only need to look at pre-Castro awards, but are the resources and funds?Would Cuban made awards be this quality? The designs are simple enough.What would it cost to have them made abroad in relation to making them on Cuba? Mass produced abroad with a staybrite finish, Cuban made Matt finish?*The diameter of Cuban Medals is always smaller than GDR awards. Is this significant?Matt finish isn't rare (CSSR, Romania etc) but I haven't seen this nice Gold effect on GDR or other Bloc countries awards either.Half answers, speculation and many questions still.
