Could somebody please tell me what makes these two medals so significantly different?

Hallo ravaluf

I presume you are the seller of these items??

If so could you post here a better picture of the:

Coronationat Alba Iulia / Gyulafehérvár in 1921 + portrait of Princess Marie
Commemorative Medal
(Medalia Amintire de la Incoronare Alba Iulia, 1921)
Silver gilt, 2,5 centimeters in diameter

With regards the two service medals, I believe they are by different makers.

Hey Kevin,

Of course I am Already sent some pcis about the coronation medal, hope you'll like them.

The differences in the two medals are so significant! Can we say that these medals are rare? For instance, the austro-hungarian and hungarian service crosses for the same timeframe are rare like hell!!!

BR,

Hallo ravaluf

I would have to say that Military Service medals even to Officers are NOT rare there being many officers who would qualify for them, certainly the Austro-Hungarian can not be counted as RARE.

I have two similar Romanian Officers service medals in my own collection with obvious differences and will post pictures here, please excuse the size but it shows the detail better:

Thank you, Kevin, they are all very different. Right now, I am thinking on starting collecting Romania, too, 'cause my hungarian collection needs far deeper pockets nowdays. These ones I listed and especially those made by Resch Jozsef in Bukarest are all wonderful. For instance, the MV Order is the third nicest medal I've ever seen in my life. What a grate design!
