paja Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 This piece was sold couple of weeks ago on ebay. I have never seen a medal like that before, back side looks just like the front side of the Silver Medal and the front side is also very different from the ones we usually see. Rare variant, prototype or something else? http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_03_2014/post-7937-0-44578600-1394656552.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_03_2014/post-7937-0-95364700-1394656562.jpg
Rogi Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Maybe Prototype, but could it be a mis-strike too? Were both medals made in the same place?
paul wood Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Looks a bit like an unofficial concoction or a downright fake.Paul
paja Posted March 14, 2014 Author Posted March 14, 2014 To be honest real or fake I don't like. Same seller offered the regular medal at the same time, this one achieved much bigger price so who knows... Rest of the pictures. http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_03_2014/post-7937-0-13566600-1394824842.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_03_2014/post-7937-0-63023500-1394825428.jpg
Alpha Draconis Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Hello Gentleman! Nice topic Paja! It is original Serbian gold bravery medal, "maiden" 1912 type 2! Very rare medal!! There are three types of "maiden" medals; Type 1 with inscription 1912 under the maiden, type 1 without the inscription, and type 2 with Serbian coat of arms on the reverse instead of "for bravery"! Gold plated bronze 30mm! My favorite Serbian bravery medals!! I must be some kind of feminist Best regards Joseph
nickstrenk Posted April 13, 2017 Posted April 13, 2017 My Queen Srbija is usual with the signature 1 type,but I am not able to read it.Zlvija?Z1912?
paja Posted April 13, 2017 Author Posted April 13, 2017 It's Cyrillic signature ЂЈ 1912. ЂЈ or ĐJ are the author's initials, Ђорђе Јовановић (Đorđe Jovanović). Anyway, very nice medal!
nickstrenk Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 I have found the the other photos of Medals for Bravery.Do not angry for adding them.
new world Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 very nice rare types, thanks for sharing these!

Daffy Duck Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 I think that we should start a new topic: Serbian bravery medals through history
paja Posted January 18, 2018 Author Posted January 18, 2018 nickstrenk, you have a beautiful collection of Serbian bravery medals, thanks for excellent photos! Daffy Duck, that's a nice idea, putting all of them on one place would great. Unfortunately I can't contribute that much as I only have a few of them in my collection.
Daffy Duck Posted January 21, 2018 Posted January 21, 2018 Dear Paja, I am quite positive that you can contribute a lot with your knowledge and wisdom!
