| Honorary
title medal for merit (om emerit) |
 |
 The
medal is struck from "Tompak" (bronze) and looks like
as if artificial patina had been applied to it. It has a soldered
ring and is suspended on a Moldovan tricilor. The emblem depicts
the Moldovan coat of arms. It weighs only 5.2g but the original
I saw in the Moldovan Presidential administration weighed 7.7g.
There are three other Honorary title medals (Master in literature,
art and national creativity) and I am trying to find out how
many people received it and for what.
| A | Abundant,
readily available, often in wholesale quantities. | | C | Common,
always available. Occasionally in quantity. | | R1 | Usually
available without a long delay. Difficult to find in quantity. |
| R2 | Scarce
to rare, less seldom available. | | R3 | Rare.
Difficult to find. | | R4 | Very
rare. Demand outstrips supply, and specimens, when available are often eagerly
sought. | | R5 | Extremely
rare and seldom available. Collector may have to search for a few years to locate
one. | | R6 | Of
the highest rarity. Very difficult to obtain. | | R7 | Almost
never available. Most collectors will not have a chance to acquire these pieces. |
| R8 | Never
been on the market. Almost impossible to obtain. |
| R* | Not
available for collections. |
