larsb001 Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Hello All. Could one of you please tell me what these are? I believe they are from Iraq, but I'm not sure. And if from Iraq, what is it? Thanks, Lars 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest IMHF Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Lars Thank you for posting your new mini medals, I can tell you that the center mini medal is from Iraq. -Iraqi Mini Medal for the Crushing of the Kurdish Rebellion of 1964. The one on the left I think is from Turkey, the one on the right looks like it is from Syira Thank you Lorenzo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest IMHF Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Lars Can you please post images of the revers of the 2 end medals; I would like to get a better look at them. Thank you Lorenzo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larsb001 Posted April 22, 2011 Author Share Posted April 22, 2011 (edited) Lorenzo, thank you for the quick answer, at least I was right about 1 out of 3. I can post scans of the reverses mid next week (unfortunately not before), but if I remember correctly they are blank, or at least one are. Regards, Lars Edited April 22, 2011 by larsb001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest IMHF Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 The one on the right has a Royal Lion on it, the bird looks like that of Romanian or Syira I think.. Sorry I could not help on them Thank you for posting Lorenzo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest IMHF Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Lars Are you trying to add these to your collection, I like the one on the left out of all of them. Lorenzo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBFloyd Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 The eagle at the ring of the left miniature is Mexican and the piece is probably a "Mexican-Moroccan Cultural Society" badge (or some title very similar). I've seen a Mexican-Ethiopian Cultural Society miniature with a similar design. The right miniature also shows the eagle with a snake in its beak, so it may be a Mexican-Belgian society medal.

Guest IMHF Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 JB I was wondering if you could share with us the proper ribbons for the two end medals; even if you had a full size medal would be great. thank you Lorenzo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larsb001 Posted April 25, 2011 Author Share Posted April 25, 2011 Hello Jeff. Thanks for the comments, I would never have thought of the existence of such Societies, that they had Medals and that miniatures of those would exist. Again I learned, thanks, Lars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
