This is the Order of the Liberation of Spain Created in Paris that of September 3 1947 for the Spanish Government of the Republic in the exile to reward the Spaniards and foreigners that surrendered important services to the republican cause It was granted in three classes: plaque, cross with rossette and cross. It existed other a medal of merit. The ribbon takes the colors of the flag of the Republic (red, yellow and purple). The insignias were carried out by Arthus-Bertand of Paris.

My opinion, and possibly the one of most of the members of the forum, is that it is truly a little simple, but she doesn't stop to represent the chosen signs or emblems to represent Europe: the twelve stars, the blue color of the ribbon, and the motto. They have surely kept in mind the economy for their making, but I believe that the important thing is the own act of rewarding, it doesn't care if the medal is beautiful or ugly, simple or complex. I'm sure that in many Armed Forces, this medal is valued, not for its design, but for added questions that it can bear: scale points for courses, promotionsa, posts, pride to shine it, sign of having participated in these missions, etc.
