I noticed that "mark" on every burma medal, although didn't figure out what it is...I guess its a "mistake" in minting.

Too big and elaborated for a mistake - maybe a stilized initials of engraver?

Hello Mark,

Hi, but my name is Petr.....)))

The engraver of this medal was Teodor Krivak. I think this "mark" cant be his initials....because we can find them on the table variant of the medal!

Hello Gents,

Yes, indeed those strange markings are stylized initials of engraver(Teodor Krivak). Found this information in a literature(Boris Prister, "Odlikovanja socijalisticke Jugoslavije") about Yugoslavian orders and medals.

BTW...bolgarin could you please show some more pictures of that table medal? Also would like to know its dimensions? Thank you!

You mean strange markings on the Table medal or you mean strange marks on the normal medal on suspension?

[Luka]

On the normal medal & the table variant.

On the normal medal & the table variant.

But why they are so different? On my opinion its strange to place absolutely different marks of one master to the medals that were made in one series of awards?!
