History


The Turkish Crimean War Medal is a campaign medal issued by Sultan Abdülmecid I of the Ottoman Empire, to allied military personnel involved in the Crimean War of 1854-1856. It was only awarded to those who survived the war and not to the next-of-kin.

There are three different issues of this medal for British, French, or Sardinian personnel. The medal was designed by James Robertson.

The obverse features the cypher of the Sultan of Abdul-Mejid.
