JapanX Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 There are a least four different types of documents for Florence Nightingale Medal. First type was introduced in 1920. Thanks to our colleague Dieter3 we have an opportunity to examine this fist type of document in color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JapanX Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 This type of document was in use (at least) until early 1960s. Although a small color addition was made later (I don’t know exactly when) – two flowers in the corners of the document became painted red and some red color was added to decorative ornament. Here we have this second type document (from the collection of MedicalCorpsMuseum in St. Petersburg). Document was issued back in 1961. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanX Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 Next type was introduced in early 1990s (most probably in 1991) and exists in two variations. Here we have a nice opportunity to look at third type of document issued in 2010 for Ms Joyce Hood (New Zealand). Unfortunately not very clear photo of document.

JapanX Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 Same text, same Florence Nightingale engraving (made after famous picture), but different orientation of the text, different fonts with different colors. Well to top it off – interesting official translation of the text of original document into Russian that was made in 1967 (original document was issued on the name Irina Ivanovna Klykova).
