This is really wonderful news, Edgar! Thanks so much for letting us all know, and thanks to Paul Brascanu for pursuing this honor. The Medal from the Jewish Communities of Romania is very well-deserved.
Warmest wishes!

Czernowitzers...
It is due to the great commitment and tenacity of my friend Paul Brascanu from Vatra Dornei that the Romanian State Mint has coined a commemorative medal in honour of Emanuel Alois Ziffer, the “Father of the Bukovinian Railroad System”, in an edition of only 23 pieces (3 silver / 17 copper alloy):

Yet another famous Bukovinian celebrity among "our" midst. In due consideration of his engagement related to the acknowledgement of Emanuel Alois Ziffer’s role as the “Father of the Bukovinian Railroad System”, the Federation of Jewish Communities of Romania decorated Paul Brascanu by the Medal for Friends of Jewish Communities of Romania in 2014.
