RE: [Cz-L] Medallion

Another oddity...the eagle is totally identical to the eagle on a
"Deutsch-Oesterreich"stamp issued at the end of WW1..the only difference is
the crown. Cornel

Dear Hardy,

I don´t where from it is, but I don´t know if it´s Romanian:

Most of the Romanian medals -I know- have a mural crown and not such a
pronounced.
Normally they have banner (nihil sine deo) underneath and not a band.
The Romanian eagle is comparable to the german: massive and not very
detailed. The one on the medal reminds me on the tirolean, or some regional
german...
The Romanian eagle has an emblem on his chest, but not another eagle with
coat of arms

If you have a look at the backside, I would say it´s german, because the
only blue flower in heraldic use I know is the bluebottle. And this is one
of the signs of the liberal (pro-democratic) Germans before WW I - the guy
is wearing an Iron Cross around his neck - which is also a sign for german
-prussian- forces, because most of the other armies use(d) pin ons.
But the individualization is a refutation against this claim...

Could it possibly be Transylvanian? The eagle would look that way... And it
would also explain different heraldic traditions

Best, Benjamin
