Couple of close-ups. Inscription on the back "200 Years Serbian Armed Forces" (200 година ВОЈСКА СРБИЈЕ)

Last year was the 200th anniversary since the start of the Second Serbian Uprising. The day when it started, 23. April, is today celebrated as the Day of the Serbian Armed Forces.
Decision about special medal that would commemorate the occasion was made in 2015 but they were awarded this year.
One of these two was awarded to a family member and they came in plastic bags. Even though quality of the medals is not that great they do look much better in person.
Anyway I just wanted to share couple of images to show you how they look like, I think this is the first modern commemorative medal of that kind.0 -
Beautiful collection! I just now noticed that the first silver medal is that numbered one you showed us once before.
Did you happen to find out something more about it in the meantime? I think that's the only one I've seen with number so far.0 -
Sorry for not replying sooner, that would be my guess but unfortunately I really can't say for sure.
All in all, interesting and beautiful piece, thanks for sharing it with us.0 -
Couple of photos from the famous exhibition "Official Dress in Serbia" (2002).
I had the pleasure of seeing it in person, unfortunately back then I didn't even have a digital camera...0 -
And one more illustration from the Official Military Gazette (1900). You can see wreath underneath the double-headed eagle here as well. Considering that your emblem has suspension ring perhaps it's from the cross belt but I can't say for sure.
Anyway it looks very well made and I doubt it's a modern repro whatever it might be.0 -

I'm not really sure what's that piece. Coat of arms is from kingdom era and the motto connects it with Obrenović dynasty, so it should be from 1882-1903 period. I'm not convinced that Barper emblem is really from cartridge pouch. The Yugoslav ones I've seen look little bit different, I could be wrong but I think all of them had smaller double-headed eagle and a wreath around it. Here's an example from "Official Dress in Serbia" (original title: Службено одело у Србији 19. и 20. века). As for the emblem on the cross belt I think it had suspension ring on the top of the crown and upper corners of the cloak (see the 2nd photo).

You are welcome! I was also not aware that it was designed by Krasnov until I stumbled upon his drawings.
Serbia and Belgrade had the luck of becoming new home for many members of the Russian elite after the Civil war.
Russian Necropolis with around 3000 remains of Russian emigres, Iverskaya Chapel and "Russian Glory" monument and crypt with remains of Imperial Russian soldiers were renovated in 2014. I posted some images here. Unfortunately they are still not visible because of the forum upgrade,0 -

I think it is safe to say that Krasnov is the author of the solution for Yugoslav Crown even though some sources, for example Car & Muhić, state that the order was designed by Đorđe Čarapić (Ђорђе Чарапић). Just take a look at the following drawings...

Maybe a custom order piece? Any information on the material ?
Its definatley an interesting piece and well done, I'd be interested to see the connection piece between the crown and the order.
Click on Dorotheum in my previous reply, it's a link to auction
According to the description it's made out of gilded silver and enamel.
I'm not familiar with German terminology, is "Kleine Dekoration zum Großkreuz" meaning grand cross badge? This is obviously not a miniature...0 -
Second Serbian Uprising Commemorative Medal
in Southern European & Balkan States

I was going through some photos and stumbled upon this one. Unfortunately details are not visible but based on the colors of the ribbon I think it's the same medal (left one) as the one above except it came with a box and a document. As we can see both of them are generals so perhaps that's why they received "luxury" box.
