Romainian Star Order - 5th Class
My first Romainian award purchase, described as
Ordine stella rumena, Romania star order 5th. class I assume this is a royal order, as my Romainian awards book hasn't arrived yet. Anyone care to fill me in on what exactly this was awarded for. Looks to me like an award from the Royal era. Kind Regards, Shane Cook. |

It's indeed a royal award, the Order of the Crown, type 2, Knight Class, with swords and ribbon of the military virtue medal, awarded during the reign of Mihai I.
The one that you have was awarded to an officer for bravery during the second world war. Not exactly a good award to start a collection of communist Romanian ODM, since this one was almost certainly awarded to an officer for his bravery on the Eastern front against the communists.
