Gentlemen,

If you google this medal it comes up as being from Ecuador. However, this medal is also awarded by Panama. I have seen it advertised for sale as being from either country and the medal appears identical in each case. I am researching Corvette Capitain Hector Abdelnour of the Venezuelan navy who was awarded the subject medal by Panama for his services in the City of Panama on June 25, 1959. I would like to know if the medal issued by the two countries is different in design and if not why do Ecuador and Panama issue the same medal?

Regards,

Gordon
