Romania 1913 Romanian Commemorative Medal

[Tim B]

Does anyone know how many different strikes of this medal were made?

I have two, one marked with an "R" and the other, an "S" on the rim.

Thanks,

Tim

"R"

and the "S". This one has a snap attachment on the ribbon btw.

There are also unmarked medals, medals marked with an "N", as well as medals made in silver, but the latter are very rare.

In my personal collection are versions with:-

"R"

"RR"

"C"

"S"

and as noted above there are unmarked versions to be found

and medals in quality silver, reputedly awarded to Officers.

Thanks you two!!

I have seen some that were apparently unmarked, but I was unaware of any with the C, N, or double R. Also, never seen the version in real silver, that one would be a nice addition!

Thanks again!

Ok, so which ones were in silver...how can you tell?

By weigth and look of the medals? Silver ones whould have dark patina and are heavier.

With regard the silver version of the Commemorative Medal for the 1913 Balkan Campaign,

I have seen one example with a hallmark strike on the bar that the ribbon wraps around,

unfortunately, I did not have the possibility to photograph the example.
