    Unknown Austrian Award


    Recommended Posts

    Greetings. I just bought from an online auction a medal that appears to be Czech or Slovak in origin - due to the rampant lion design. I need help identifying it.

    Please take a look at the photos. If you recognize it, can you please tell me from what country, its name, what it was awarded for, and anything else? I would greatly appreciate it.

    Thanks. Linas

    PS: if not Czech or Slovak, any lead in the right direction would also be helpful.

    Dear Linasi,

    you bought a "Goldenes Ehrenzeichen des Landes Steiermark" - "Golden Sign of Honour by the Province of Styria".

    It is the lowest class of this Austrian provincial order, but the orders from Styria have an nice design and are very well manufactured :-)

    On the official governmental site of the province of Styria you will find all informations about this order:

    All the best from Vienna
