Description

Crimea Medal, unnamed, an interesting likely French Made custom example of superb quality which is about 80% of the size of an original, with matching silk ribbon.

 

Diameter of medal: 29mm, custom woven silk ribbon is 28mm.

 

Many French Officers preferred “Reduced Size” medals instead of very small miniatures, which are die struck from a custom made die based off the original design to as close a detail as the artist can manage.

 

Suspensed from a length of original silk ribbon which was made for the medal, being 28mm wide, compared to a full size ribbon of 34mm, in total the medal is about 80% of a full size medal, British court miniatures are typically around 50% of the size.
