Hi all,
Maybe some of fellow collectors from Spain and Portugal can help with the medal bar below. I obtained this one and it would be relevant to put it up here as well.
This medal bar holds:
– King George V Coronation medal, 1911
– Spanish Cross of Order of Military Merit (peacetime ribbon)
– Portugal Don Carlos I Coronation Medal, 1889 (awarded from 1908) –wrong way around.
Like some British collector said, owner of this set was probably member of British Royal Household (with some Portugal connection?), clerk in the British Embassy or crew member of Royal Yacht.
Maybe someone here knows exact criteria’s, how often at this time Cross of Spanish Military Merit Order and Portugal Don Carlos I Coronation Medal was awarded to British, etc? Also are there any lists of recipients (London Gazette) and is there any chance to ID that set? Every information piece would help!
Kind Regards,
Timo aka Noor
