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.

Indeed it seems that the Collar of the Emperor's was stolen in 1994, according to my news, in the flight to Japan, and the investigations in the airline didn't give result some -officially "misplaced"-, for that that indeed the emperor doesn't possess the badges, and it will be difficult that it can return them
