922F Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Although legislation dated 1930 describing/creating a Decoration for Arts and Sciences exists, seems like it was never realized. Reliable authorities including Lame, Rrumbullaku and Swire all mention it and a similarly ephemeral 1936 medal for exceptional service in the Gendarmerie. Some 30-35 years ago, a now defunct auction house offered a 'royal Albanian Decoration for Arts and Sciences' on a green ribbon [correct ribbon according to Swire]. It actually turned out to be a shaved 1930's 5 lek coin with a hole drilled at the top for ribbon rings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
