History

The National Uprising (28th Amordad) Medal was established in 1953 in commemoration of the coup d'etat which reinstated Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi to his legitimate role of the Iranian Monarch.

A bronze Pahlavi crown emblem is authorized for wear on the ribbon.

The reverse features Persian inscription which translates to the date, "28 Mordad 1332 HS" (corresponding to 19 August 1953).
