JBFloyd Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 This came to me described as the star of the Libyan Order of Good Workmanship. However, all the images I can find of this order show the center enameled areas to be in green, rather than red and black. The center inscription is appropriate and it's marked by Bomisa. Is this an earlier type? A trial piece? Something else entirely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisW Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Knowing very little about this medal, is it possible that this is a 1970s-era version, when the Libyan flag's colors were red/white/black? And the green-centered ones reflect the all-green flag adopted in 1977? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBFloyd Posted June 30, 2017 Author Share Posted June 30, 2017 It would certainly make sense that the decisions bringing about the flag change would also be reflected in the design of orders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
