Here is an image of one of the first Cuban Medals in my collection.

Is the device on the left a UFO or a primus lamp?

[Taz]

It's a Martian spaceship landing in a rather hilly school playing field Paul:D

No, being serious its a primus lamp on a table with a book, paper and a pencil to the fore. The book has a letter or number on the opened page that looks like a backward written letter s or maybe a number 2. In the background are hills or mountains probably depicting teaching in Rural areas I would imagine.

Best regards Eddie

OK, rather wierd looking medal in my opinion.

Here's mine. 15cuc.

The thing in the book is actually a small letter "a" partially covered by the next page, not inverted "s" or "2" as had been suggested earlier in this thread.
