The medal is stamped "HUGUENIN FEC." "JONAS J. BURBA," 1930-1940.
The Medal of the Order of Gediminas was established as an extension of the Order of Gediminas after it was created in 1930. It was suppressed during the Soviet occupation, but it was officially re-instated in 1995 following the collapse of the Soviet regime and the declaration of the Republic of Lithuania. It was amended again in 2002.
It is awarded to civil servants and enlisted men in the Lithuanian Armed Forces for meritorious service. It may also be awarded to foreigners, or in absence of service requirements, but only under exceptional circumstances.
The II Class Medal features an obverse inscription that translates to "Gediminas, Grand Duke of Lithuania." A total of 276 II Class Medals were awarded in the Republic of Lithuania from 1930-1940.
The current version of the Medal is listed in the Medals & Decorations of the Republic of Lithuania (1991-). See also the Order of Gediminas in the Orders of the Republic of Lithuania (1918-1940) and the Republic of Lithuania (1991-).
