400,000 were struck and distributed to the officers and men who took
part in the Serbo-Turkish campaign. Five medals were struck in gold for
the Court. On the obverse is the Serbian Eagle, encircled by a laurel
wreath upon the leaves of which are struck incuse the names of the
principal battles, reading downwards on the left: Kumanovo, Uesküb,
Prilip, Adrianople, Welles, N. Pazar, Debar, Istip, Prizren et Medare;
and reading downwards on the right: Monastir, Scutari, Ohrid, Dojran,
Sjeniza, Tetovo, Ljesch, Elbassan, Durazzo, and Pristina. The names are
in Serbian characters.
On the reverse in the foreground is represented a piece of artillery
captured from the Turks, with the sun in its splendour above, the date
1912 being inscribed on the orb itself, and running with the line of
the medal above is the Serbian inscription, in native characters,
signifying "Kossovo avenged," the field of Kossovo being the place
where the Serbians lost their independence in 1389. The medal, which
bears the Swiss modeller's name, Hugeunin Frères, is suspended from
a silk-woven ribbon, with the national colours, red, blue, and white,
repeated perpendicularly six times.
=The Serbo-Bulgarian War.=--The medal issued for the war with the
Bulgarians is in the form of a Cross--41 millimetres in dimension. This
is a very plain, bronze, gilt Cross, bearing on the obverse the royal
monogram and surmounted by the royal crown, and on the reverse the date
1913. The decoration is suspended from a red ribbon with an edging
of black. Five hundred thousand of these Crosses were issued to the
officers and men who took part in the campaign, and four Crosses were
struck in gold for the Court.
="For Courage."=--The third medal is for valour, and was awarded to
those officers and men who particularly distinguished themselves in the
two campaigns. On the obverse is a strong figure of Obilitch, a warrior
revered by the Serbian people. He has been their national hero since
1389, the ideal and the eternal spirit which inspired and encouraged
the Serbian people to live for the time when they could throw off the
yoke of the Turk. Around the bust of Obilitch is the inscription, in
Serbian characters, Miloch Obilitch, National Hero, 1389. It will
be noticed that the crest or chimera which surmounts the helmet of
the hero helps to give the connection between the shaped ring for
suspension and the decoration. On the reverse is the cross of chivalry,
and a wreath of laurel encircling the legend, in Serbian characters,
"For Courage." Crossed swords fittingly fill the gaps between the
arms of the cross. The medal, modelled by M. Henri Hugeunin, is 36
millimetres in diameter, is suspended from a red silk ribbon. Seven of
these decorations (see facing page 376) were struck in gold, 101 in
silver, 4,000 in silver-plated bronze, and 27,000 in bronze gilt.

=The Sanatory Cross.=--The "Sanatory Cross," which is bronze gilt
and enamelled, and 40 millimetres at its greatest dimension, was
distributed to those men and women who rendered service in the medical
department during the two campaigns. On the obverse is the Serbian
eagle on an enamelled ground, and on the reverse the inscription in
Serbian characters, "For care to the wounded and sick." The inscription
also stands out on an enamelled circle. Four thousand five hundred were
issued with the sky-blue ribbon arranged in triangular form for men,
and 3,500 in tie form for women. (See facing page 376.)
=French Veteran's Medal.=--An interesting medal is that worn by French
veterans who are members of the ~SOCIÉTÉ DE SECOURS MUTUELS FRANÇAISE
DES EX MILITAIRES~. It bears this inscription in a circle, and on the
reverse a trophy of arms. It is suspended from a wreath of laurel, tied
with flying ribbons, by a ribbon into which is woven the colours of
various war ribbons.
APPENDIX I
PISTRUCCI'S WATERLOO MEDAL
In the year 1819, when the battle of Waterloo was still fresh in the
minds of every one, the Prince Regent, who became George IV, being
desirous of fitly commemorating the event, conceived the idea of doing
so by the striking of a medal which by reason of its magnificence
would do justice to the great achievement of arms. To this end a
competition among the great artists of the day was suggested to the
Royal Academicians, but they unanimously selected Flaxman to execute
the commission. He produced a design which, approved by his peers, was
passed on to Benedetto Pistrucci, a Roman who succeeded T. Wyon as
chief engraver at the Royal Mint. Signor Pistrucci, however, refused to
cut the dies, on the grounds that his abilities and position placed him
above that of a mere die cutter. His claims were acceded to; Flaxman's
designs were abandoned, and Pistrucci was commissioned to prepare a
modelled design, which was "instantly honoured by the fullest and most
flattering approbation of" the Prince Regent. He thereupon received
instructions to cut the dies for a fee of £3,500, the price being
based upon the assumption that the design contained as much work as
thirty ordinary-sized medals, and certainly a glance at the reduced
photographs facing page 80--the medal is 5½ in. in diameter--will give
some idea of the exceeding amount of work which the famous die cutter
and gem carver put into his _chef d'œuvre_. The dies were finished in
1849; and of the great men who were to receive the medal in gold, the
Duke of Wellington--the greatest of them all--was the only survivor
when a lead impression was taken for submission to the Lords of the
Treasury.
It is stated that the reason for the failure to strike from the
massive dies was owing to the super difficulties which could not be
overcome in any attempt to harden them. The real reason may, however,
be found in our altered relationship with the Continental nations,
and in consequence thereof the Government of the day had no desire
to do anything which might give offence to our ally in 1850. It was
felt, however, that Pistrucci's masterpiece should not be kept from
the public, and the Lords of the Treasury handed the matrices to a
Mr. Johnson of Alexander Terrace, Bayswater, who prepared a number of
electrotypes, a pair of which have been kindly lent me for illustration
herein by my friend and late student, Cecil Thomas, who, like
Pistrucci, is one of the very few craftsmen who are equally at home in
the cutting of steel or gem stones.
_The Official Description._--"Both sides of the medal are treated
allegorically, except the central part of the obverse, which represents
the busts of the four allied Sovereigns, the Prince Regent, Emperor of
Austria, Emperor of Russia, and King of Prussia, grouped together in
profile. Around this group of actual portraits the figures constitute
an allegorical and mythological allusion to the treaty of peace
which was consequent upon the great triumph on the field of battle.
The summit of the surrounding groupings presents Apollo in his car
restoring the day. The rainbow zephyr and Iris follow the chariot of
the sun in succession, but the zephyr is tending towards the earth, and
scattering flowers, as the emblem of peace and tranquillity.
"On the opposite side, the car of Apollo is seen closely approaching
the constellation Gemini, personified, as usual, by a pair of graceful
youths, indicating the month in which the great contest took place.
Castor and Pollux, each armed with spears, are intended to elucidate
the apotheosis of Wellington and Blucher. Themis, the goddess of
justice, appears on earth, as in the Golden Age. This figure is placed
in front of the profile busts of the Sovereigns, to show that Justice
is a greater security to government than Power. The goddess is seated
on a rock; a palm-tree waves over her head; she is prepared to reward
virtue with its branches in one hand, and in the other holds a sword
for the ready punishment of crime. Power is personified by a robust
man of mature age, bearded, and armed with a club; he is seated under
an oak-tree, and forms the corresponding figure, at the back of the
group of busts of the Allied Sovereigns, to that of Justice facing it.
Beneath Themis the Fates are introduced, to indicate that henceforward
human actions will be controlled by Justice alone. These actions and
passions are represented by the Furies, which, being placed beneath the
emblematical figure of Power, are subjected to its influence, and no
longer suffered to quit the infernal regions, or Cimmerian caverns, in
which, at the base of this side of the medal, the allegory is completed
by the figure of Night, the mother of the Fates, receding into darkness
from the ruling daylight of Phœbus' car on the summit.
"The central group on the reverse consists of a couple of equestrian
figures, classically treated, but having the countenances of Wellington
and Blucher. They are full of action; the figure personifying the
Hero of Waterloo is galloping in advance, and that of the veteran
Blucher is rushing to the aid of his companion in glory, to complete
the enemy's destruction. They are guided by a female figure of a
flying Victory, placed between them, conducting their horses to the
conflict. Quite detached from this central group, and forming a border
round it, a composition of many figures represents the battle of the
Giants. They are struck down by the thunder of Jupiter; the youngest
ones, being the most daring in the assault of heaven, are the first
to receive the Divine punishment. In their descent they tumble over
one another in every variety of attitude--symbolical of the confusion
of the defeated enemy. The number of the figures of the Giants is
nineteen, illustrative of the nineteen years' duration of the war; and
in grouping these figures they are represented following each other in
succession."

SALE PRICES
The following short record of average values is based upon auction
prices realised during the last twelve years. It is difficult to
standardise values, as so many factors are involved in the valuation of
war medals. Not only rarity, but condition; not only the number issued,
but the importance of the engagement in which they were earned, are
taken into consideration by most collectors. Then there are periods
during which there is a "slump," and prices do not rule so high. High
prices are invariably obtained for the first medals placed upon the
market even when, as in the case of the Boer War, it was known that
thousands would be issued. Medals for South Africa which sold in 1903
for £1 5_s._ have now a fairly regular price of about 10_s._ if in good
condition. In 1902 the Khedive's Sudan medal with bar for Khartoum
realised £3 15_s._; it is now valued at about 7_s._ 6_d._ in the
sale-room. In the same year the Mayor of Kimberley's siege medal (a
star of silver) sold for £6 15_s._; it now realises from 10_s._ to £1.
The last new British war medal to be issued, that for Abor, realised
as much as four guineas in the sale-room when it first appeared; it
dropped in a few weeks to three guineas. A Military General Service
medal with the single bar for "Roleria" has fetched as much as £21--and
as little as £3 3_s._, but this was due to the fact that the latter
was faked, _i.e._ some bars had been removed, the medal roll showing
that the man whose name was impressed on the edge had served in five
engagements, and his medal originally had that record.
On the other hand, because of its exceeding rarity as well as the
gallant conditions under which it was earned, the M.G.S. medal with bar
for "Benevente" has realised £34. Bars issued with the Army of India
medal for "Ava" and "Bhurtpoor" are the most frequently met with,
but these realise high prices at auction. At the Gaskell sale a medal
with single bar for "Defence of Delhi" sold for £20, a single bar for
"Corygaum" £35 (but one of these bars has realised as much as £100),
two bars for "Assaye" and "Argaum" £33. Three bars for "Allighur,"
"Argaum," and "Gawilghur" realised £40, and £60 was paid for one with
bars for "Allighur," "Battle of Delhi," and "Laswarree." The "Mutiny"
medal has realised as much as £38, the price for which a four-bar medal
from the Gaskell Collection sold at auction; but three-bar medals sell
at auction for from £2 2_s._ to £3 3_s._, and single bars for "Defence
of Lucknow" for as little as £1 16_s._; but at the present time there
is an inclination to pay more for Mutiny medals, and the conditions
under which they were earned warrant it. In the later Indian wars
the bar issued for the North-East Frontier 1891, owing to the great
interest taken in the Manipur Expedition, realised from £3 to £4, but
this bar, which is attached to the I.G.S. 1854 Medal, sells for about
a quarter of that sum now. The Waterloo medal, to one of the 42nd
(Black Watch), has sold at auction for as much as £15, and £20 has been
paid for one awarded to the 27th Regiment (Inniskillings); but a poor
specimen has found a purchaser at as low as £1 10_s._
Great care should be taken to examine the bars and ensure that they
have not been tampered with. No medal that has been re-engraved is
worth taking into consideration, unless it is one with rare bars which
show no signs of faking. Medals with genuine bars, even though the name
has been erased from the edge of the medal, realise good prices, and to
complete a collection are very useful when named medals fetch very high
prices.
