[Taz]

Medal ?250th Anniversary of the University of La Habana?, created by Law Decree N? 12, of January 9, 1978, awarded till November 30, 1979, according to Law Decree N? 29, of October 27, 1979.

With many thanks to Mr Vidal from the University of Havanna I am able to post one of the few remaining Cuban medals without any pictures.

:Cat-Scratch: AHA!!!!

Was this given to staff, graduates of those years, or old graduates?

Is there indeed a "ribbon?"

[Taz]

I would imagine to staff and well known ex-graduates Rick,

This is a Council of State issue award, later aniversary medals, 260,70 and 80 were awarded by the university itself.

The 280 year aniversary is worn on a purple neck ribbon. I need to confirm if the others had the same.

Regards Eddie.

Actually, I'm surprised they don't follow the Soviet pattern of diamond shaped university, college, etc graduates' badges.
