Yugoslavian medals and orders

[John F.]

I agree with Eric. It looks like a good Yugoslavia made piece.

[Valter Gorenc]

Gerd's piece is actually Soviet made (monetny dvro screw disc and mistaken spelling "stolpnje" instead of "stopnje", which means "grade" or "class" in Slovenian). They are considered a bit more sought-after as Yugoslav ones. 3rd class are plenty of originals, so I didn't see any convincing fakes yet, but 2nd and 1st clases are a whole different story.

I always thought "Stolpnje" was a Yugoslavian maker.

[Valter Gorenc]

I always thought "Stolpnje" was a Yugoslavian maker.

Soviet-made Orders of partisan star had inscriptions of "grade" in three languages:

3rd grade: Stolpnje (should be: stopnje) - Slovenian
2nd grade: reda (Croatian)
1st grade Stepeni (in cirilic - Serbian/Montenegrin, also Macedonian).

Yugoslav-made orders had only grade in latin number + serial number.
