Hi Igor,

1) Swedish, hard to say what, since the observe is similar in many medals. What's the reverse like?

2) Knight's cross of Danish order of Dannebrog

3) British Royal Victorian Order (commander, I guess?)

4) Austria, 1st republic, Order of Merit (these came in red and white enamel, maybe someone else can explain their difference?)

5) Russian medal of zeal, maybe?

Hi Igor,

very nice that medal for zeal!

The Swedish medal is 1967 Jubilee medal for King Gustaf VI Adolf's 85th birthday (Konung Gustaf VI Adolfs minnesmedalj med anledning av 85-?rsdagen [GVIA:sMM]). Made of silver, diameter 33mm and the ribbon is that of the Seraphim order.

Here's a thread on a Swedish forum where you can see a similar miniature:
