Loyal Service Cross Type 2 Class 2

The Type 2 Loyal Service medal was awarded from 1932 to 1947. It was awarded in three classes. Class I was made in silver gilt, class II in silver, and class III in bronze. Beginning in 1937, the type 2 medal could also be awarded with swords to members of the military.

The ribbon is blue, flanked by 3mm silver stripes with a 3mm yellow stripe in the center. In times of war, the “war ribbon” was used, which included the addition of 3mm yellow stripes on the outer edges.

The cross is 34mm wide, plain, and is encircled with a wreath. The center medallion is the same as the Type I medal.

The Obverse reads “Serviciu Credincios” (Translation: Loyal Service), surrounded with a wreath of laurel and oak leaves.

In all there were 8 variations of the medal.
