Hello Daniel,

Hello Gentlemen,

The Orders & Medals of Counani were mostly awarded by those involved in the history of this territory , among themselves, but not in Counani itself. Actually France moved back when the Republic of Brazil raised concern that the occupation of this territory by miners & logger (at the right edge of french Guyana) was done completely illegally.

But those who have been to Cunani have perpetuated the history of this chimera long after....Often you found medal, in bronze, silver (silvered), or gold (gilded). 

Ounce I was shown the Order ( I did not bought it ), but I kept the photo. So now I can share it with you.

Best regards to all.

The State of Counani existed in 3 lapses from 1886 till 1912

There is much more info on the french version, than on the english wikipedia.

Several Medal were instituted, all are seldom seen.

Regards to all.
