Brian Wolfe Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Hello Everyone,After a day of hunting in the wilds of the local antiques malls I came home with several items one of which is this Romanian Order. Being an old plough-jokey I was drawn to it because of the tractor as much as anything though the blue enamel is quite a nice touch.Could someone help me with the actual title of this order and the year which it might have been instituted and awarded. I would think that in this "mint" condition it is quite resent. I have checked the forum and found these but I am a bit unclear as to the actual title. Is it an Order of Labour for Agriculture 2nd Class? I'm not sure of the value of these but I paid $15.00 Canadian for it, not that what I paid has a bearing on whether I like it or not. I would, however, like to add the other classes if they are within my budget.Thanks for your help.Cheers Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Wolfe Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 Here is the reverse. There are no munbers or other marking that I can find on the piece.The order is quite thick and has a good deal of weight to it.I hope it is an original.Cheers Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think that in this "mint" condition it is quite resent.Hi Brian!As Kevin said it is Ordinul Meritul Agricol (the Order for Agricultural Merit). It was established through decree no. 6 published in Buletinul Oficial no. 12 of 01.02.1974. It was awarded in five classes for agricultural merit. There was also a Medal for Agricultural Merit.
