Turkish Crimea Medal
The Turkish Crimean War Medal ((トルコ語:Kırım Harbi Madalyası)) is a campaign medal issued by Sultan Abdülmecid I of the Ottoman Empire to allied military personnel involved in the Crimean War of 1854–56. There are three different issues of this medal for those issued to British, French, or Sardinian personnel.
== Design and identification ==
The obverse shows the Ottoman Sultan’s tughra with the Muslim calendar year of 1271 on all versions. The reverse depicts a cannon standing upon the Imperial Russian flag, an anchor and a mortar. There are four flags to the rear of these three items which can be used to identify the country to which the medal was intended. This will be for either a soldier from Great Britain, or France, or Sardinia. The identifying flag is the central right hand flag, positioned above the anchor. It is a Union Flag for Great Britain, the tricolour for France and the flag of the Kingdom of Italy for Sardinia, based on the Italian tricolore. Since Sardinia was ruled at the time by the House of Savoy, this flag has the shield shaped emblem of the Savoy coat of arms in the central panel of the Italian tricolore.〔
Note that due to the loss by shipwreck of many of these medals intended for British recipients, awards were made with whatever issue came to hand, the most common being of the Sardinian type. 〔Christodoulou, Glenn ''Medals of the Crimean War'' - Crimean War Research Society (1985)〕
Additionally, the inscription in the exergue reads "Crimea 1855" for British issue, "La Crimee 1855" for French issue, and "La Crimea 1855" for Sardinian issue.
