I'm looking for this romanian commemorative jeton: "In amintirea luărei Griviţei şi a eliberărei Bulgariei 1877 - 1907".

Is the medal really Romanian? On the reverse, the Romanian text is in the middle. Had the medal been Romanian, I would have expected it to be the first.

The Russia was a bigger power since then . The Independence of Romania was gained due to the united efforts of the Russian Imperial Army and Romanian Army. Without Russia probabily the Turks ruled this part of Europe , 20 or maybe 50 years. So I think that way they honored them. Also Alexander apears the first and Carol I the second , on the obverse.

Hi,

To aviatiadasenzatia:

I think you are right. Historical artefacts need to be estimated from a position of a historical objectivism, instead of political preference. Once again many thanks to all who has taken part in discussion of this theme.

P.S.

I'm curious about the size of the medal you posted. ( I mean the diameter of it )


The exact size of that jeton with a susspension is 39 mm.
