| Medal
of the Presidential Guard of Honor |
 |
 The
medal is of a light yellow alloy on a rectangular suspension
and resembles more a badge (quite tinny really). It bears
to Moldovan tricolors (like Romanian) and the colouring is paint.
The text in the white field reads "Garda de onoare- Guard
of Honor" and in the middle is the Moldovan coat of arms
(eagle with bull). Like other Moldovan degrees it is reputedly
made in Romania. I am trying to find out how many people
received this medal and for what.
