Hi Jaybo, All surviving récipients of the 1813, 1814 and 1815 campaign medals for combattants and not-combattants were eligible for this medall. They had to show the award document for the campaign medal to claim this 1863 commemorative medal. Approximately 60.000 were given. [Dietmar Raksch: Preussen Verleihungsurkunden und Besitzzeugnisse 1793 - 1972.] -
Jaybo, No difference between the medals issued to officers and other ranks. They are in bronze. Those for civilian are in black cast iron and those for the ladies of the Order of Louise, in sparkling steel. The colours of the ribbons are also différents.

Hello! Are you sure it is bronze gilt? This modell is habitually in gold. -
There are lilies on the crown, so "Restauration".

In the 19th century, due to frequent political changes, the centers were replaced according with the new statuts. So one can find stars "1st Empire" with centers "Restauration" or "Monarchie de Juillet", stars "Restauration" with centers "Monarchie de Juillet" or "2d Empire", and so on... All combinations are possible.

Hello! Crown and star: Restauration. Centers: Monarchie de Juillet. Have a nice day. Augustin1813.

Does somebody know what kind of bestowal document was given with the westphalian order of the Crown (1809 – 1813): a letter like for the Légion d’Honneur or a diploma like the dutch “ordre de l’Union”? Where could I find a photo of such a document?
