Hello!

Is there anything on the reverse?

Hello!

Nothing.

Who is central person on the photo? The others?

I understand what you mean. For me 200-300 usd is a fine value for a medal. BTW I found it sold without box on one of the auctions for 600 usd.  I bought it for 15 euro.

Anyway, 200-300 euros is quite a high price.

 

According to the statute this medal was awarded to those who were invited to Enthronement or performed official duties during Enthronement. Also prime minister office could award anybody at its own discretion.

The exact number is not known (as per today), but at least 16 000 were issued. Quite likely the total number is much higher .

It`s not very rare.

It was made by japan mint. You will find its marks at the rim.

Thank you!

I found that the medal stands on 4 of 5 on scarcity scale on this site  http://www.imperialjapanmedalsandbadges.com/manenthronment.html

Does anybody know who and how many persons got this medal?

This is the medal of the Latvian Union for Life-saving.

Thanks.

IMHO a good one. This is also described in the literature.

In which book?

Thank you.

The images show as thumbnails. Did you clicked on them to make larger?

And one more question- what value has this badge?

---

...

Found this badge and the medal.

What do you think about it? Is it a prinzen-size badge? Is it original? Silvermarked 925. Dimensions 50x30 mm.

Here is my White Lion III with swords.

The full size badge is on the bottom, the smaller version on top.

Unfortunately the photo was primarily focused on the larger badge, so the smaller version does not show up as well, but it has splendid detail. The screw plate on the reverse of the smaller badge is, I believe, "Riga" marked.

Thank you Bill.

The smaller version must be very rare. I never seen this before.

I recently acquired the smaller example of the Latvian badge to go with my full-size example.

Is it possible to see a photo of the smaller badge?

I would love to see it, if you wouldn't mind posting it.

The Estonian badge was numbered, unlike the Latvian badge.

I presume that the Estonian award document has the number of the badge recorded?

Thank you, pluribus !

Yes, it has a number of the badge in it.

I have seen the Latvian badge and the Estonian badge from time to time.

Does anyone know if there were specific award documents for these badges?

Yes, there were.

I have a document for the Estonian badge.

James, very nice!

Thank you!
