This replica represents a historic Russian military medal established by Emperor Nicholas I on January 22, 1850.

• Reverse: Cyrillic legend: “For the pacification of Hungary and Transylvania. 1849.”

• Mounted on a ribbon combining the colors of the Order of St. Andrew and Order of St. Vladimir, as worn on the original.

More than 212,000 medals were awarded to soldiers, clergy, medics, and others who supported the campaign. Notably, Tsarevich Alexander (later Alexander II) served in the campaign as commander of the Guard Infantry Corps.

This museum-quality replica is a must-have for collectors of Russian Imperial, European military, and 19th-century historical memorabilia.
