Hendrik Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Perfectly fine ... Commemorative Medal of the 75th Anniversary of the Telegraph Services This enameled cross was created on 20 October 1921 to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the first telegraph line exploitation in Belgium, on 9 September 1846. It was awarded to employees and workmen of the Belgian Telephone and Telegraph Services who had completed, on 9 September 1921, 25 years of good and loyal service.

TacHel Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 Here's a stupid question... Is it mounted backwards? Should the crown and lightning bolts be the obverse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendrik Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Nope. The obverse shows the royal cypher "A" for Albert I. Regards, Hendrik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
