="For Courage."=--The third medal is for valour, and was awarded to those officers and men who particularly distinguished themselves in the two campaigns. On the obverse is a strong figure of Obilitch, a warrior revered by the Serbian people. He has been their national hero since 1389, the ideal and the eternal spirit which inspired and encouraged the Serbian people to live for the time when they could throw off the yoke of the Turk. Around the bust of Obilitch is the inscription, in Serbian characters, Miloch Obilitch, National Hero, 1389. It will be noticed that the crest or chimera which surmounts the helmet of the hero helps to give the connection between the shaped ring for suspension and the decoration. On the reverse is the cross of chivalry, and a wreath of laurel encircling the legend, in Serbian characters, "For Courage." Crossed swords fittingly fill the gaps between the arms of the cross. The medal, modelled by M. Henri Hugeunin, is 36 millimetres in diameter, is suspended from a red silk ribbon. Seven of these decorations (see facing page 376) were struck in gold, 101 in silver, 4,000 in silver-plated bronze, and 27,000 in bronze gilt.

=The Sanatory Cross.=--The "Sanatory Cross," which is bronze gilt and enamelled, and 40 millimetres at its greatest dimension, was distributed to those men and women who rendered service in the medical department during the two campaigns. On the obverse is the Serbian eagle on an enamelled ground, and on the reverse the inscription in Serbian characters, "For care to the wounded and sick." The inscription also stands out on an enamelled circle. Four thousand five hundred were issued with the sky-blue ribbon arranged in triangular form for men, and 3,500 in tie form for women. (See facing page 376.)

=French Veteran's Medal.=--An interesting medal is that worn by French veterans who are members of the ~SOCIÉTÉ DE SECOURS MUTUELS FRANÇAISE DES EX MILITAIRES~. It bears this inscription in a circle, and on the reverse a trophy of arms. It is suspended from a wreath of laurel, tied with flying ribbons, by a ribbon into which is woven the colours of various war ribbons.

APPENDIX I

PISTRUCCI'S WATERLOO MEDAL

In the year 1819, when the battle of Waterloo was still fresh in the minds of every one, the Prince Regent, who became George IV, being desirous of fitly commemorating the event, conceived the idea of doing so by the striking of a medal which by reason of its magnificence would do justice to the great achievement of arms. To this end a competition among the great artists of the day was suggested to the Royal Academicians, but they unanimously selected Flaxman to execute the commission. He produced a design which, approved by his peers, was passed on to Benedetto Pistrucci, a Roman who succeeded T. Wyon as chief engraver at the Royal Mint. Signor Pistrucci, however, refused to cut the dies, on the grounds that his abilities and position placed him above that of a mere die cutter. His claims were acceded to; Flaxman's designs were abandoned, and Pistrucci was commissioned to prepare a modelled design, which was "instantly honoured by the fullest and most flattering approbation of" the Prince Regent. He thereupon received instructions to cut the dies for a fee of £3,500, the price being based upon the assumption that the design contained as much work as thirty ordinary-sized medals, and certainly a glance at the reduced photographs facing page 80--the medal is 5½ in. in diameter--will give some idea of the exceeding amount of work which the famous die cutter and gem carver put into his _chef d'œuvre_. The dies were finished in 1849; and of the great men who were to receive the medal in gold, the Duke of Wellington--the greatest of them all--was the only survivor when a lead impression was taken for submission to the Lords of the Treasury.

It is stated that the reason for the failure to strike from the massive dies was owing to the super difficulties which could not be overcome in any attempt to harden them. The real reason may, however, be found in our altered relationship with the Continental nations, and in consequence thereof the Government of the day had no desire to do anything which might give offence to our ally in 1850. It was felt, however, that Pistrucci's masterpiece should not be kept from the public, and the Lords of the Treasury handed the matrices to a Mr. Johnson of Alexander Terrace, Bayswater, who prepared a number of electrotypes, a pair of which have been kindly lent me for illustration herein by my friend and late student, Cecil Thomas, who, like Pistrucci, is one of the very few craftsmen who are equally at home in the cutting of steel or gem stones.

_The Official Description._--"Both sides of the medal are treated allegorically, except the central part of the obverse, which represents the busts of the four allied Sovereigns, the Prince Regent, Emperor of Austria, Emperor of Russia, and King of Prussia, grouped together in profile. Around this group of actual portraits the figures constitute an allegorical and mythological allusion to the treaty of peace which was consequent upon the great triumph on the field of battle. The summit of the surrounding groupings presents Apollo in his car restoring the day. The rainbow zephyr and Iris follow the chariot of the sun in succession, but the zephyr is tending towards the earth, and scattering flowers, as the emblem of peace and tranquillity.

"On the opposite side, the car of Apollo is seen closely approaching the constellation Gemini, personified, as usual, by a pair of graceful youths, indicating the month in which the great contest took place. Castor and Pollux, each armed with spears, are intended to elucidate the apotheosis of Wellington and Blucher. Themis, the goddess of justice, appears on earth, as in the Golden Age. This figure is placed in front of the profile busts of the Sovereigns, to show that Justice is a greater security to government than Power. The goddess is seated on a rock; a palm-tree waves over her head; she is prepared to reward virtue with its branches in one hand, and in the other holds a sword for the ready punishment of crime. Power is personified by a robust man of mature age, bearded, and armed with a club; he is seated under an oak-tree, and forms the corresponding figure, at the back of the group of busts of the Allied Sovereigns, to that of Justice facing it. Beneath Themis the Fates are introduced, to indicate that henceforward human actions will be controlled by Justice alone. These actions and passions are represented by the Furies, which, being placed beneath the emblematical figure of Power, are subjected to its influence, and no longer suffered to quit the infernal regions, or Cimmerian caverns, in which, at the base of this side of the medal, the allegory is completed by the figure of Night, the mother of the Fates, receding into darkness from the ruling daylight of Phœbus' car on the summit.

"The central group on the reverse consists of a couple of equestrian figures, classically treated, but having the countenances of Wellington and Blucher. They are full of action; the figure personifying the Hero of Waterloo is galloping in advance, and that of the veteran Blucher is rushing to the aid of his companion in glory, to complete the enemy's destruction. They are guided by a female figure of a flying Victory, placed between them, conducting their horses to the conflict. Quite detached from this central group, and forming a border round it, a composition of many figures represents the battle of the Giants. They are struck down by the thunder of Jupiter; the youngest ones, being the most daring in the assault of heaven, are the first to receive the Divine punishment. In their descent they tumble over one another in every variety of attitude--symbolical of the confusion of the defeated enemy. The number of the figures of the Giants is nineteen, illustrative of the nineteen years' duration of the war; and in grouping these figures they are represented following each other in succession."

SALE PRICES

The following short record of average values is based upon auction prices realised during the last twelve years. It is difficult to standardise values, as so many factors are involved in the valuation of war medals. Not only rarity, but condition; not only the number issued, but the importance of the engagement in which they were earned, are taken into consideration by most collectors. Then there are periods during which there is a "slump," and prices do not rule so high. High prices are invariably obtained for the first medals placed upon the market even when, as in the case of the Boer War, it was known that thousands would be issued. Medals for South Africa which sold in 1903 for £1 5_s._ have now a fairly regular price of about 10_s._ if in good condition. In 1902 the Khedive's Sudan medal with bar for Khartoum realised £3 15_s._; it is now valued at about 7_s._ 6_d._ in the sale-room. In the same year the Mayor of Kimberley's siege medal (a star of silver) sold for £6 15_s._; it now realises from 10_s._ to £1. The last new British war medal to be issued, that for Abor, realised as much as four guineas in the sale-room when it first appeared; it dropped in a few weeks to three guineas. A Military General Service medal with the single bar for "Roleria" has fetched as much as £21--and as little as £3 3_s._, but this was due to the fact that the latter was faked, _i.e._ some bars had been removed, the medal roll showing that the man whose name was impressed on the edge had served in five engagements, and his medal originally had that record.

On the other hand, because of its exceeding rarity as well as the gallant conditions under which it was earned, the M.G.S. medal with bar for "Benevente" has realised £34. Bars issued with the Army of India medal for "Ava" and "Bhurtpoor" are the most frequently met with, but these realise high prices at auction. At the Gaskell sale a medal with single bar for "Defence of Delhi" sold for £20, a single bar for "Corygaum" £35 (but one of these bars has realised as much as £100), two bars for "Assaye" and "Argaum" £33. Three bars for "Allighur," "Argaum," and "Gawilghur" realised £40, and £60 was paid for one with bars for "Allighur," "Battle of Delhi," and "Laswarree." The "Mutiny" medal has realised as much as £38, the price for which a four-bar medal from the Gaskell Collection sold at auction; but three-bar medals sell at auction for from £2 2_s._ to £3 3_s._, and single bars for "Defence of Lucknow" for as little as £1 16_s._; but at the present time there is an inclination to pay more for Mutiny medals, and the conditions under which they were earned warrant it. In the later Indian wars the bar issued for the North-East Frontier 1891, owing to the great interest taken in the Manipur Expedition, realised from £3 to £4, but this bar, which is attached to the I.G.S. 1854 Medal, sells for about a quarter of that sum now. The Waterloo medal, to one of the 42nd (Black Watch), has sold at auction for as much as £15, and £20 has been paid for one awarded to the 27th Regiment (Inniskillings); but a poor specimen has found a purchaser at as low as £1 10_s._

Great care should be taken to examine the bars and ensure that they have not been tampered with. No medal that has been re-engraved is worth taking into consideration, unless it is one with rare bars which show no signs of faking. Medals with genuine bars, even though the name has been erased from the edge of the medal, realise good prices, and to complete a collection are very useful when named medals fetch very high prices.
