Kingdom Yugoslavia marine officer with unknown medal

[Von Thronstahl]

Help needed with this medal.   I think it is not Kingdom Yugoslavia medal. Even my  knowledge about KY medals and orders  is very poor,  I think design of the medal is definitely not Yugoslavian. "Mérite maritime" medal looks similar but I think it isn´t it.  Maybe you gentlemen could help me.

I originally thought Albania but the closup makes me think maybe China or something similar (Asian countries) would love to have the centrepiece detail a bit more as it could be a lot of countries apllicable to it, maybe even middle east.

Looks Like a fourth or fifth class type 2 Dragon to me, might be worth posting in the Chinese section.

Sorry meant Double-Dragon

I thought of Double dragon too but I couldn´t find specimen with "rays" like this.

Thank you Paul.   

 

Fifth Class: for businessmen and traders

 

How did he got this medal as a soldier!? 

[paul wood]

May well have been in the merchant fleet prior to the great war.
