Dave Danner Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 The obverse says at the top "service" and below the coat of arms afghaniya.The reverse refers, in the part I can make out, to Ghazi Amir Amanullah, the King of Afghanistan from 1919 to 1929. The date at the bottom is 1298, which is 1920 A.D., IIRC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Haynes Posted December 29, 2006 Author Share Posted December 29, 2006 Ed,can You say something about this medal.I have one too (did I ever put it up here?), and have never been able to get much beyond what Dave has contributed. Afghan kingdom awards are, if anything, even more puzzling than PRDA awards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
