Greg Collins Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Thought I'd start a thread on RPR/RSR agricultural awards and kick it off with a new acquisition to the collection, the "25th Anniversary of the Foundation of Cooperative Agriculture in the Socialist Republic of Romania" Jubilee Medal. I doubt this is rare, but it is somewhat hard to get here in the US. It is one of three medals that has a metal suspension rather than ribbon... there is a ribbon bar for it which I don't have (dark blue with yellow edges). This medal was established in 1987.

Greg Collins Posted April 2, 2010 Author Share Posted April 2, 2010 Next, the "Medal in Commemoration of the Collectivization of Agriculture". An RPR award, it was established in 1962. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Collins Posted April 3, 2010 Author Share Posted April 3, 2010 Her's a "Medal of Agricultural Merit" that was established in 1972. Note someone has "whacked the crap" out of it on on side which may account for the missing enamel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Collins Posted April 3, 2010 Author Share Posted April 3, 2010 Details of the front and back. Note the coating on the back just doesn't age very well (I hate this; wish they wouldn't have done it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Collins Posted April 3, 2010 Author Share Posted April 3, 2010 Last, for now, a "Hero of the New Agrarian Revolution". Established in 1986, this award came in gold, gold-plated silver or, as this one is, gold-plated brass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
