    Albanian Labor Medal Type 2


    Recommended Posts

    Rick Research Sayeth:

    "In Eric Schena’s book on Hoxha regime awards, this is #31—the Medal of Labor (Medalje I Punës), Type2 on Type c suspension, so fairly late (1980s?) but not near the end of the Communist dictatorship.

    Eric illustrates a Type1 Medal on earlier Type a suspension, which was clearly modeled after Enver Hoxha himself. Obviously this later type on the final two smaller Type c and Type d ribbons was a completely new medal die as well."

    "This fellow looks more like a generic Anthony Quinn. Even the ribbon has become coarser and more like some sort of clothing-weave.

    No Albanian Medals found here (our local population was entirely Catholic and got out by the 1920s) for the past five years—and I’ve been LOOKING. Now got 5 all at once at my local show. I blame Eric."
