      This is the "Medalla del Homenaje de los Ayuntamientos a SSMM"

      https://coleccionesmilitares.com/medallas/texto/odm1931.htm

      To commemorate the act of homage that Spain, through its Town Halls, made to the queen and to me [The King] on January 23 [1923], a Medal called tribute is created.
      The Medal will be of bronze, of a single class and adjusted to the model coined by the National Mint , always being used with a pin and ribbon in national colors.
      All the mayors, secretaries, councilors and deputies of the municipalities and deputations who sent commissions to Madrid or took part in the provincial festivals, the Somatenes who consider themselves adhered to the act, the officials or agents of authority that directly or indirectly took part in it, the chiefs, officers and troops that formed or were of some service on the days of the tribute and the citizens who in this way want to express their adherence, in a reliable way to the tribute.

      In fact, I also thought that you could answer my question, and it came true! I would also like to ask you another question. Is there a difference between the versions of the Spanish naval military orders? Do you have a website or picture to recommend? Thank you

    2. Dear collector, this is the first time I have posted a question in this area. I went through some old posts and found that the winner of the Maria Teresa medal also received the Royal Spanish Tribute Medal, which I think is very beautiful! Does anyone know what is the criteria for obtaining this medal?If anyone knows why this person got it, so much the better. Thank you

      Hi 1812 Overture,

      it was established in 1913, awarded in 1913 and 1914, and in 1914 stopped because of the war. Further awards were not made until 1919.

      The first three years only awards in Bronze and Gold, since 1920 also in Silber (based on the first regulations).

      Uwe

      Thank you for your answer. Can you show me pictures of the badges issued before the WW1 war?

      Hi,

      it's long ago, but I want to add some more informations.

      Rick showed his fantastic 0.900 Gold badge: "I wonder how much the German Olympic Committee would offer me for the ONLY one in the entire world?"

      But I know now, that there are some more of these Gold badges in gilded 0.900 silver. And because there exist two different versions, I don't think, that they were awarded badges.

      I have two of these badges with the same stamp 0.900, but with 2 different needle sytems. Please compare left the example from Rick and next the two badges in my collection.

      Dear sir, I have a question. The physical fitness medal was established in 1913. Has it been awarded in WW1? I haven't seen any of the photos in 1918. .

    6. Great topic! Allow me to continue. .
      Post a badge bar that is not in my collection.

      Medal of Isabella of the Kingdom of Spain. . I have only seen silver, does copper really exist?

      Carol I of the Kingdom of Romania for 40 years in power. It is strange that this group of bars does not have a centenary of William I

      Memorial medal for the Messina earthquake in Italy in 1908. Most of the winners were navies and participated in rescue operations.

      This group of bars is in the hands of the Austrian auctioneer, does it rule out that it is Imperial fakes?

      I have reason to think that the number of medals in the middle is Wurttemberg Brave Medal

    7. It's very simple. I especially want and love this medal. This is the second wedding memorial medal of the Grand Duke Hessen-Darmstadt. This medal looks like the coffin of an Egyptian pharaoh. . Or a spaceship:lol:

      This is a group of bars auctioned by eBay some time ago. . Sorry, the owner does not send China, and I have no money:banger:

      Reference for this medal. Don't you know this site? This was sent to me by a gentleman named "Chris" in the forum, this time he may be on vacation in Australia (BBQ:lol:)

      Thats great. I think the swedish orders are one of the most beautiful orders. Maybe because im swedish :):) 

      You are right, I also like Swedish orders! I like six angels the most, but I can't buy them. . . I also like Polaris because it has no enamel and I don't have to worry about collisions. At the same time, King Oscar II is also a historical figure I admire! It is enviable that Sweden is also a military power in history!

      Both orders have the same number of classes, 5.

      The order of vasa is an open order. So anyone, almost, could get it for almost anything :). The order of the northen star was given for Civil-  and scientific- merits. So for example embassy staff are given the nothern star. Thats is why i think there are more asians who got awarded the Northen star because there was not so many asians before 1975 in Sweden eccept embassy staff.   

      thank you. I purchased Vassar Command Grand Breast Star and Polaris Big Cross Breast Star

      Well... For me it look little strange.

      Specially if you look on the thread on which the ribbons are sewn with on the reverse side. Most often when you make a mounting it is the same color on the thread on the back. Here you have diffrent threads on almost all medals. And it's not made very professional.

      Dear Mr. Mitce, I would like to ask some other questions. Sweden's Vassar order has a lower rank than the Polaris order? I see that many German medal bars have the shadow of the Vasa order. There are fewer North Stars, but there are more Asians who get North Star breast stars.
