Hi.

Here are two medals that i have in my collection. I hope that they are original and that you like them. I know i ask a lot about everything but i like to collect imperial stuff and i dont know how to read russian…So i have to ask you guys. Hope you have some patience with me?!

 

Kind regards Tommy

Those medals were awarded during the Russian Turkish War 1877-1878

During this War Bulgaria was liberated from Turkish Yolk

I suppose members with Russian knowledge will translate exactly the text

 

After the War new  formed Bulgarian Government requested a medal to be minted in Russia and given to the Bulgarian Volunteers in this War
