    Portugal 1916 Medal,


    Recommended Posts

    Hi Lingqi,

    This is the commemorative campaign medal of the Army of Portugal 1916. 

    This medal was established in 1916 on the 30th of November by decree number 2870. It was issued for all campaigns of the army against the Portuguese enemies in Portugal or abroad. The silver one was given to officers, gold for senior officers and bronze for others. The medal you have here is the 1919 revised version for armed forces campaigns.

    It is an average seen medal, although in silver or gold a bit scarce.

    Cheers

    Sampo

    Thanks Sampo, 

    It is very helpful, I bought this from a second hand shop for 30 Australian dollars. 

    The fun part is always trying to find out the story behind the medal. 

    Regards,

    Lingqi
