Great Dane Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 It is a Swedish medal from the Royal Patriotic Society - most likely for long service. In Sweden these societies has semi-official status when it comes to wearing the medals. This one comes in gold and silver and in different sizes (and obviously with different obverses depending on the reigning monarch). I'm sure our Swedish friends can tell you more... /Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimj Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 It's the small medal for the Royal Patriotic Society, awarded mostly for long faithfull service. In Sweden these go for about 250sek, 32usd. The ones with Oscar II are more popular than later kings.
