Burundian -but what is it?

[Ulsterman]

Here's a medal I picked up several months ago. From the old Kingdom of Burundi. One can clearly see the Belgian influence here and it's surprisingly well made-die cast, solid. However, information of medals from Burundi is scarce. I think this is either a merit medal (like the British MBE and ISM) or the low end medal of the Order of Rwagasore. Does anybody know what it is?

Hmmm...just tried to upload the photo but it says it's too large. I'll just have to wait for my 51st post.

Thanks! Nice huh? I especially like the Royal monogram on the right.

It's a mystery.
